[status] We checked out the Tiger Glacier in Icy Bay yesterday morning, the weather was perfect, clear skies and little wind, enabling us to motor up real close to the head of the glacier. Decided not to anchor there last night though despite there being what looked like a good anchorage. The water temperature had dropped to 6 degrees in there, which combined with what little breeze there was made the wind chill factor feel like sub-zero. We were also a little unsure about the idea of not being able to leave when we wanted to due to dense fog, which we've seen quite a bit of in the last 3-4wks, inhibiting our ability to navigate our way out through the thousands of little ice bergs. So we ducked around the corner to Whale Bay, which is absolutely stunning of course, water temperature back up to 10 degrees and ice free. It is so beautiful here we're going to spend an extra day/night before we continue on with our aquatic wander exploring Prince William Sound.

[weather] Overcast, no wind or swell.
