| UnCruise skiff flood

UNCRUISE Adventures’ eight-metre skiff has been partially flooded in Bartlett Cove in Glacier Bay National Park.

The noninjury incident occurred after a successful day of operations while manoeuvring away from the dock as it was being towed by Wilderness Legacy.

No passengers or crew were aboard the skiff, and UnCruise’s immediate priority was to recover the two portable, 23-litre fuel containers and coordinate with federal and private response management.

It has been determined that the environmental impact from this is minimal, with an estimated two cups of gasoline escaping inside the boom the crew set up around the skiff.

It is unknown why the flooding occurred.
