Been in there twice and it's OK - but really nothing special - you're
gonna get cruise ships up the yazoo - it's like the 405 in LA in Fri
rush hour - and I know you know what I mean. Except for an occasional
stunningly clear view of a crystal clear Mt Fairweather in 150+ mile
vis late in the year (this is a genuine jaw drop AWE) - Sept on - I'd
rather be a lot of other places. Won't mention in public - too many
cruise ships listening. You'll know you don't want to be there when
you get woken up in the early AM by the cruise ship PA booming out -
"Aren't we having fun today !!" to the 1200 Alzeimher's patients
onboard (tourists??)..

I'm working out a few details of my summer '04 trip up the Inside Passage
and it looks like I will have time to go as far as Glacier Bay and take a
look at some ice.

Does anyone have any recommendations of what inlets or glaciers that make it
all worth while?? I figure I will only have a day or two to spend there and
don't want to go any farther north.

Also I would like to avoid following in the wake of the cruise ships.. I
know they go into Tracy Arm and Sawyer Glacier. Maybe the fact that my boat
is smaller, I can get into places that they can't.

Suggestions will be appreciated.
