Messing about in boats
“There is nothing — absolutely nothing — half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats. In or out of ’em, it doesn’t matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that’s the charm of it. Whether you get away, or whether you don’t; whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get anywhere at all, you’re always busy, and you never do anything in particular; and when you’ve done it there’s always something else to do, and you can do it if you like, but you’d much better not.”
Look at ME! not the Margerie Glacier
Beryl, like any good ship’s cat, or “cat in charge” aka CinC, believes that she should be the primary focus of attention. During the Alaska trip, as we took many photos of glaciers and amazing scenery, she had a lot of…competition! Here she reminds photographer David that she is more important than his once in a lifetime view of the Margerie Glacier within Glacier Bay.
Glacier Bay was declared a National Monument on February 26, 1925, a National Park and Wild Life Preserve on December 2, 1980, a UNESCO declared World Biosphere Reserve in 1986 and a World Heritage Site in 1992.
