Our third stop was at Icy Strait Point. It's a rugged, authentic area that was a nice change from our other stops. There isn't a lot to do there, so we all enjoyed the beauty around us. Most of the adults went kayaking in the morning, and decided that we got our workout for the entire cruise!
we had to use "tenders" (small lifeboats) to get from the Radiance to Icy Strait... someone did jump off the ship that afternoon, which led to some great cruise gossip ;)

AL and Mom getting ready, too
off we go!!
we kayaked about 3 miles out and saw porpoises, eagles, and crabs
then we turned around and it felt like we kept paddling and paddling... and the ship was still far away!
we had lunch on the pier -- yummy seafood and crab legs -- and walked around
we ate at a table with Kristen and David
the boys loved, loved, loved throwing rocks in the water -- they still say it was one of their highlights!

We all had a great day in Icy Strait!
Well, except for the guy who jumped off the helicopter pad of the boat...
