July 13, 2010. Goodbye Cordova!
Spent the morning hanging out along the lakes by the Copper River Highway when the nonstop rains occasionally paused. Drove back to Cordova at noon, to refuel at the Killer Whale Cafe - a salad and lots of coffee. The M/V Aurora arrived sharp at 3pm and that was that. Goodbye, Cordova! We will miss you.
Aboard the Aurora, most of the evening was spent gazing out at the minimalist expanse and vowing to buy a panoramic lens the next time around. There are vast expanses of snow-clad mountains and numerous waterfalls and it becomes overwhelming after a while!
Aurora docked at the island of Tatitlek to pick up exactly 1 passenger! Wonder how the AMHS makes ends meet at this rate. We had a quick dinner, then it was time for a showing of "Valentine's Day" in the TV room. By the time the titles rolled, the misty mountains of Valdez were back in full view. Aurora docked in Valdez a full hour early at 10:30pm, and we're back in our tiny cabins at the RV stop now.
Off to Whittier tomorrow in an early morning cruise, abroad the Aurora again!
