UnCruise Adventures | The Carey Adventures

Four kayaks sit on the back deck of a small 170' cruise ship waiting for passengers to hop in and take a paddle. Where are they paddling today? In the distance are towering peaks of Glacier Bay National Park. They rise up directly from the water with little to no shore. The mountains are about a mile away and speckled with patches of snow and green forest or shrubs down lower. There are wispy clouds and a slight rainbow has started on the left side of the frame. The blue sky, well, mostly blue, is reflected in the water and invites you to come play on the serene surface of this amazing National Park.
