10 February 2017 | Glacier Bay National Park. Southeast Alaska
Dave
Our latest VIDEO production tells the story of our voyage deep into the Glacier Bay National Park from Hoonah during 2016. Crossing the Icy Straits in gale force winds of thirty-five knots made a welcome change from endless engine work and we relished the challenge of more intense sailing.
Eventually we found shelter in Bartlett Cove, where we needed to validate our permits with the Park Rangers who vigorously restrict the number of vessels allowed into the immense Glacier Bay area. With over 3.3 million acres of rugged mountains, frozen glaciers, temperate rainforest and exceptionally wild coastlines of the St Elias Mountain Range, Glacier Bay is an undoubted challenge for any sailing vessel.
We transported our photographic and video equipment ashore to find and film Alaskan wildlife at its most extreme. Please take time to view this ten minute film production expertly produced by www.davidungless.com.
Crew: Dave, Marie & Henry.
