All flights out of glacier bay canceled after 230. AS couldn't made it in. Was spotted attempting a landing and it circled back to Juneau. Tried other airlines, bought tickets on Alaska seaplanes and got refunded when they closed down. 2 boats chartered by a few of us passengers. One person took the last seat on the first boat. We were going to have to wait until midnight. Luckily AS employee referred us to her husband who had a boat with immediate departure.

Hope you guys make it out! The 3.5 hour boat ride back to Juneau was not exactly my favorite part of the DO!
Of course the bear waiting at the dock for us will make for a great story!

Almost on my way out of SEA now and the upgrade is especially welcome today after the adventures in getting this far and operating on about 3 hours' sleep.
Safe travels to everyone else and hope all get out more or less on schedule. Once again a great DO, thanks to all and hope to see everybody again next time.

DO tell! (We saw a whale on our boat ride, not quite as exciting as a bear but still very cool.)

Thanks for the updates everyone. This is truly turning out unique... And with the limited communications at the lodge posts here are helpful.
Sounds like even jackal hasn't made it out yet either from GST.
