Seward, AK

Seward, Alaska provides a city RV park on Resurrection Bay.  Across the bay mountains soar above the city and Godwin Glacier looms above the water.   The first row of RVs are lined up along the bay facing the water.  Cruise ships, fishing boats, sailboats and other pleasure craft all  pass in front of the campground throughout the day and night.
We spent a pleasant five nights in Seward, playing tourist.  The Sea Life Center in Seward has incredible displays of the marine wildlife in the area.  Along the way to Exit Glacier we stopped to eat at the Resurrection Roadhouse with its amazing views of the Resurrection River and mountains above. Eagles line the creeks, waiting for salmon.
The areas surrounding the docks are lined with small restaurants and shops to appeal to the passengers of the cruise ships that dock there.  The National Park service has a strong presence here with a visitor center right in the heart of downtown.
The highlight of the last few days was a long glacier tour we took yesterday.  The boat took us to see Aialik and Holgate glaciers, whales, seals, dolphins, puffins and sea otters,  We stayed long enough at the glaciers to watch calving several times.  The whales were very cooperative.  The captain saw a large group of birds feeding and headed toward them, knowing that the fish would draw whales also.  We saw a total of five humpback whales feeding in the water.
 The boat served a prime rib and salmon dinner that was very well prepared. Breland and I both enjoyed the fresh air, smooth water and beautiful views. We had drinks make with ice from the glacier.
We will head toward Anchorage next to stock up on fuel and items we need for our trip south and to have the steps repaired.
