Sawyer Glacier






Next morning, unbelievable day - we started at 5:00 AM as the sun was coming over the towering snowcapped mountains. The water was calm and around every corner there were majestic waterfalls cascading down shear rock walls. It looks like we are driving a boat through Yosemite Park. We were also zigzagging through ice bergs - some as little as ice cubes and others as big as three story houses. We finally worked our way past the mother and baby seals and as close to the glacier as we could get. We could hear it thunder when huge chunks would calve off and the air was crystal clear - so fresh. We stopped the boat and had a picnic on the boat. Then Mike noticed the tide was coming in and with it were all of icebergs floating back towards the boat...time to go! I climbed onto the boom and pointed as we made our way out of the maze of bergs! We made it back to our lovely little cove and had a nice relaxing drink - We called it Sawyer Iceberg Margarita - the best Margarita we have ever had!
