INLAND PASSAGE









Taking a cue from the bears and the tons of blueberries they were eating, we boarded the Ryndam for a week of sights and pampering - what better way to build up the body fat for winter? But first things first – Life Boat Drill. Do you think these ladies thought it was the real thing? The ship’s wake continually presented lovely sunsets and interesting patterns of ice in the water and the sun shinning through arctic fog created some interesting “rainbows.” Sleeping on deck proved to be a prime responsibility to conserve energy. College Fjord gave us a view of seven glaciers named after notable colleges and universities. Seeing our sister ship the Noordam in Glacier Bay was yet again a reminder of the awesome size of the Alaska terrain. We roomed next to our friends the Howard’s. Here Bob and Jeanne share a light moment as the air warms near the end of our cruise.
