Our second day was spent in Fern Harbor in Taylor Bay - all of the crew members were very excited about this, as this destination is one of their favorites but depending on weather and tides, one they are not often able to get to. We took a skiff ride in the morning, spending about 90 minutes out on the open water and seeing all sorts of interesting rock formations, sea life and animals. In the afternoon, we got our fee on land for the first time in two days, bushwhacking and taking in all of the beauty of a temporal rainforest. We saw the Brady Glacier, a 24 mile long glacier, and the Brady ice field, as well as the terminal moraine and muskeg. The views were insane, well worth the vertical hike.

Sea otters were popping up everywhere.

There's no trail - just the path of least resistance.

Lee, sporting some Old Man's Beard. They loved this photo so much that it made the boat's slide show.
