Wow! The ice must have really been thick. When we were there last week he was pushing chunks as big as the boat out of the way enroute to the face!
You can tell he really enjoys what he does and it is more than just a job for him. One of the good things about owning the boat is you don't have to live by a schedule. It was 9:30 when we got back in the harbor on our last trip. He was on schedule to get us back around 8:30 but we saw a whale just before the narrows and that obviously extended his time on the water. Talked with Cpt Alan of Stan Stephens and he indicated one of the complaints against the Lu-Lu Belle was always getting back to port late. I thought that was interesting that someone would complain about missing a dinner reservation because they had spent an hour watching a humpback put on a show!
