So we did it again. Our class went out into Resurrection Bay. We stayed within a day of Seward. This time we sailed on Lindsay II, anchored up in some pretty amazing places and spent some time exploring the shore.

Bear Glacier at Bulldog Cove is great. I got up in the middle of the night to use the head, and from what I saw swirling in the bowl, thought “either my pizzle went radioactive or fireflies have made their home in the toilet.” Next morning Jessie filled me in – small, bio-luminescent lifeforms live in the sea. They get sucked into the flush pump and float around until they get flushed back out. Next time, I might bring a camera tripod to get a few pictures of it.

Beach combing uncovered plenty of odd-size floats and even a football. On the other side of the straits, we hit Paradise Cove in Three-Hole Bay tucked way into Aialik Bay. If you’re looking for a hike, good luck finding a starting point. Most of the land juts straight out of the water, but we started low, and worked our way up one of the ridges.

Around Bulldog, there are a few hidden lakes and waterfalls worth exploring, and the surf would be great (with a drysuit) with larger tide. Overall, it’s a fantastic place to go camping for a weekend. Even if I can’t afford chartering a sailboat for the weekend, it’s well within a day’s hike.

I have been racking up hours on the water and have been sea sick two times now. What gives? I thought I was a stallion, but now I’m not so sure. I did reach my goal. I have my bareboat charter credentials and am going to charter a boat soon.

Any ideas about where or when, and with whom I should go???
