St. Elias seemed to grow through the day as we went further and further east. We could see it almost all day. Raime had a great time, and thought that the trip was fantastic. She joked about Yakutat being "Yuck Attack", but it really was another beautiful spot. We got off at the city docks, where Geraldine met a diesel truck for refueling. The dock is not a floating one, and it was low tide, so we crawled up a very tall ladder to reach the land. We were able to track down a telephone and get the number for the "cab" which apparently is one (very nice) lady in town! :) Yakutat is about 700 people in population during fishing season, when it is fishing season (the Coho Salmon are just beginning to run now), and is more like 500 at other times of year. We're glad to be home with the rest of our family, but miss the Geraldine and being with Mom and Dad. What a wonderful adventure. The morning sunrise in Icy Bay was fantastic, and Mt.
