There are heavy clouds but we decided to head into Tracy Arm and look for the glacier. The icebergs aren’t as big as we have seen in the past, but there are sure a lot of them. We have had to dodge of lot of “bergie bits”. About half way in during a moment of inattention…we hit an iceberg. Not the Titanic size but enough to cause an abnormal vibration. !@#$ we are pretty sure we bent a prop. Fred checked below and we aren’t taking on any water. Well, the fun just went out of this trip today. We could actually see Sawyer Glacier in the distance. We found a good place to turn around and headed back to Tracy Arm Cove. The cove was empty when we arrived and we could pick anywhere to anchor. We chose the far western corner near the outlet of a stream. This is a beautiful spot but when we hit low ride we were touching the eel grass below. Way too shallow. We could pull anchor and move or pull in some anchor chain to pull us further out. We chose the latter. All in all, not a fun day.
