ALASKA FINALE -- PART I. Here are some scenic views from our marine cruise through Renaissance Bay starting in Seward. That's me, at the dock where the sport fishing boats bring in their catches.

Our cruise ship -- a catamaran.

The town of Seward, as we depart the breakwater.

Renaissance Bay.

Another view of the bay.

One of many glaciers -- more in a post to come.

The mountains, partially obscured by some (temporary) low clouds.

We were on the water all day, and this was the worst weather we encountered.
