Day 2:  Begin a 22 mile Fjord cruise up spectacular Tracy Arm to the Sawyer Glaciers.  Board the yacht's Zodiacs for a real adventure to the glacier face amongst thousands of icebergs to observe the glacier calving and the fur seals sunning on the icebergs.  Back aboard with a cozy fire enjoy specialty hot drinks and cocktails served with 10,000 year old ice.  Then return down the arm to Iceberg Cove for the evening.

Day 3:  Cruise South in Stephens Passage and Frederick Sound and enjoy one of the guests favorite activities, whale watching as they feed all around you while you are fishing for salmon and halibut.  For lunch anchor in a scenic cove at the Brothers Islands.  Then a really lively and close up visit to a large sea lion colony before moving on to tiny Chapin Bay for the evening.  Fresh fish on the BBQ tonight.
