Glacier Bay: Day Four

We woke to a sun and a faint breeze. It was still early, but there was not a cloud in the sky. Relieved, we set about making breakfast and planning for the day.
Kayaking was considered, but tossed aside. The weather was so nice that nobody relished the thought of putting on soggy kayaking gear and paddling the barges. Instead we all decided to kick back and just enjoy the island.
In the morning the Bs (no relation) took off to the west side of the island to try their luck at catching a salmon for dinner. H and I just kicked back and read for a bit.
At some point in the morning, I spotted a kayak approaching. The couple had run into the Bs and wanted to use our radio to contact the ranger station in Gustavas. The kayak they had rented had a gash in it and the couple had not realized this until after they had been dropped off by the day boat. We tried to hail the day boat, but to no avail. After failing to hail the day boat, the couple decided to make camp down the beach from us before trying again.
After lunch, H and I did some of our own exploring. We watched as a family of terns ran off a bald eagle. We saw some of the biggest barnacles ever. We also spotted huge, blood red starfish.
While we were off exploring, the Bs were able to raise the ranger station with the help of Sailboat Bob (our little radios did not have enough juice to transmit all the way back to the ranger station), and arranged for the couple to take two of our single kayaks. We would paddle the holed kayak the half mile back to the pick up and take it back to port with us.
Dinner was a fire seared wild salmon (I had a chicken curry). It was a perfect way to end our time in the wild.
