This is the first sunny morning in nearly two weeks. The lovely day has definitely lifted my spirits. After two days of good sailing we are motoring in very light winds. Last night we were snug with three shorelines and an anchor, probably overkill but there is nothing like a good night's sleep and we need the practice. We are nearing the glacier and should be there in time for Ned's birthday. If the weather cooperates we can spend the night anchored amidst the icebergs. Pictures to follow in a few weeks when there is internet again.
