Blue Mouse Cove

Blue Mouse Cove is said to be the most popular anchorage in Glacier Bay. Anchor there on a clear day and it is easy to see why. The views across to the mountains and hanging glaciers  of the Fairweather Range are stunning

Anchor in one of the coves of the main bay. Holding is reported to be poor in the bay although we found reasonable holding in mixed sand/rock  in the southeastern most cove in approx 15 m of water.

The anchorage is said to be a good place to see Grizzly Bear and all  we spoke to who had anchored there reported sightings.  We didn’t see a bear in the cove but did spot one feeding  on mussels on the rocky shore to the NW of the cove.
