Alaska Cruise – Day 2 (Somewhere at sea)

At 8:30 a.m. it was sunny, windy, and hazy.

At 11:30 a.m., it's gray and foggy.

The ship's horn mourns a warning every few minutes. Betware. We're coming.

I already have a favorite place on the ship, the Crow's Nest bar at the top. Comfy chairs and a fabulous view. Right now it's closed because of a private party. Very annoying.

Later:

Very uneventful day. Many walks on deck to enjoy the feeling of cruising (even in wet, gray weather).

The ship continues to roll in the choppy seas. It's an odd sensation. It's like being drunk in your head without any of the physical euphoria. Or maybe it's like being drunk in your body, but with your head clear?

We saw fish. Mackerel? Halibut? And something that blew water. The R.C. says whales but me, I think maybe a dolphin. (Or a porpoise. I can't remember which is northern and which is southern.) Either way…our first Northern Wildlife!
