April in Day Horbor
01 May 2011 | Resurrection Bay & Beyond

We moved back aboard the Mystic Knot and headed for Day Harbor... which proved to be a very exciting trip... we had planned for about 4 days out, but it turned into 9 due to weather. We did not mind. Alaska has so many glaciers that fresh water is always available. Easter sunday the wildlife was out in force with their young in tow. We watched little otters sleeping on their mother's bellies... baby sea lions learning how to dive for food... young eagles attempting to hunt... and no end to starfish lining the shoreline and low tide. Since we were low on supplies our Easter Sunday brunch was simple, but delicious! Horseradish and dill deviled eggs, honey ham, steamed carrots, mashed potatoes, and baked apples for dessert. The storm finally passed and we were able to make it back to Resurrection Bay in good time.
