ISP, and not the specific impulse ISP


Our last port in Alaska was Icy Strait Point. It was different than all the other ports in that it was small, quant, and only had one store-- we even had to tender in! We enjoyed hiking along the beach and through the rainforest as well as hiking up to the little fishing town of Hoonah. We saw so many bald eagles in this area!


There wasn't much in the way of excursions in ISP, so we decided to take kayaks out for some scenic sea kayaking. It was Dave and I's first kayak adventure and we really enjoyed ourselves. We saw 3 bald eagles devour a huge salmon and managed to successfully not fall out of the kayak into 40 deg water.
Since this port was a shorter day, we had our final formal evening onboard. We got dressed up to enjoy lobster and filet mignon and an evening show. The seas were rather rough and it was mind-boggling to see the water levels rise and fall in the dining room windows.
