Well, we are halfway through this
cruise. A week from tomorrow we will disembark. Today is a sea day,
all day on the water sailing form Ice Strait Point to Anchorage. For
the first time in a week, we have not had fog when we woke up, but it
is cloudy and the Captain says we may have rain this afternoon.
We were lazy this morning and did not
get up until after 8 am. This is the first time we have been able to
sleep in. No idea why we feel the need to get up early since we
don't leave the ship before 10am after all the tours have departed.
Anyway, today may bode well for extra sleep. We need to store it up
since campground days are early days and in a week we will be camping
again.
Because this is a sea day, there are
many activities going on for the passengers and of course there is
always Bingo!! Here it is 11 am and all I have done is have
breakfast and a shower. Lazy day!!!
I expect not much will be accomplished
today, maybe a walk around deck at some point, and that will require
a coat and long pants. Temps have stayed around 60F or less, even
when the sun is shining. An Alaskan we have spoken to has told us
they have not yet had a summer.
We received an invitation to a cocktail
party with Captain Mercer for this evening, or in our case, an after
dinner drink party. Will be interesting to see what they do. The
invitation requests that we refrain from shaking hands to avoid
transmission of germs. This was a VIP party and I can only surmise
that we were invited because of the Meet and Greet I arranged on
board. The party was quite nice with hot and cold appetizers,
champagne, wine, mimosas. About 100 people showed up in the
Explorer's Lounge. The staff mingled and talked to everybody.
The sea remains very calm and at times almost like glass. I am going to post a couple of additional pictures on this post since there isn't much to tell.
Friday we will be in Anchorage.
