Alaska 2004  --  Days 4-5

Day 4, Wednesday June 2 ~ Exit Glacier or Kayaking and the Alaska SeaLife Center

The group went for a walk at the Exit Glacier.  Afterwards, a  number of folks did part of the Marathon Mountain trail.  Jenni and Ralph opted to go kayaking on Resurrection Bay. Unfortunately it was a rather gray day, with wind and white caps on the bay.  So the kayaking was abbreviated and they took a short walk inland from the bay.   In the afternoon everyone  went to the Alaska SeaLife Center in Seward.

Day 5, Thursday June 3 ~ A Cruise from Seward on Resurrection Bay and Ailik Bay

After walking around the port of Seward we boarded the Kenai Star for a ranger narrated cruise of the waters of Kenai National Park.  Unfortunately, the waters were a bit rough and some didn't enjoy the trip.  Enroute we saw a variety of wildlife and again we spent some time at a glacier.  A buffet dinner was served on board.
