Creator's Key Takeaways

they were leaving Glacier Bay July 2nd and they struck a large piece of ice

originally, right off everybody's worried, did we hit a whale?

they immediately announced, 'Nope, we did not hit a whale, but we hit a large piece of ice.'

they found no damage. And even the next day when they arrived in Ketchacan, they had a diver come and check out the ship and all they found were some scratches.
