Perks of our job in Alaska

Kim and I recently went out on an exclusive "Glaciers & Guitars Tour" that a local radio station chartered out. I was the "DD" Designated Driver,  hired out for the event. We had a small group on board our coach and I am grateful to report all of our passengers still had their coordination and balance following the cruise. Though, we did have an extremely intoxicated fellow jump onto the coach and yell something out. I am not quite sure what he said and I was standing in the middle of the isle getting a head count as he came up the steps of the coach behind me. I think he was somewhat dumbfounded when he didn't recognize a soul on board and then quickly stepped off the bus.

Kim and I had a great time and I am so glad she was able to come along with me. It would've been a somewhat awkward and lonely time had she not come along. She hasn't quite gotten her sea legs about her so she does tend to get a little sick on the ocean, but the Prince William Sound is protected waters and so it tends to be very calm. And as you can see from the pictures we took it was excellent cruising conditions.

No joke, the water was calm and the scenery was breathtaking!

Icebergs from the Glacier. The crew usually fishes a chunk of ice out of the water with a net and serves Glacier Margaritas (or for us they will make it virgin or make it Sprite or Ginger Ale on the rocks).

Finally had a moment to take a photo together. Best we could do was inside the ship.
