Two days at sea

Ready? It your first day at sea. Today we travel through the passage that separates Vancouver Island from the mainland. It is a busy waterway with vessels of all sizes using it. There used to be a huge rocky outcrop in the middle of it but after many shipwrecks,it was blown up. The biggest non nuclear explosion in history.

First I think the laundry needs doing….we can put it on while we go to breakfast.

Hurrah ,there is lots of fresh fruit especially blueberries and strawberries ……there is other healthy and not so healthy choices….you can choose.

Collect laundry.

Now there is a talk, a fibre arts…..alias for knitting and crochet……a art class, games or origami……Me I’m off to the art class …what will you be doing? See you at lunch.

Now a movie, more art, a nap or trivia. No you don’t get a prize for guessing art. We are doing watercolour splodges to create a feeling to what we are seeing……looks just like splodges but it’s fun.

I think we should go for a walk…afternoon tea in the Wintergarden?Okay.

Definitely a walk ….at least four times  around the deck. I have managed 6.4km.

Check out tomorrow’s programme…..

Dinner…..more talks or we could go to one of the lounges and listen to music. But perhaps we can look at it on the tv in the cabin. Tonight we leave Canadien waterways and enter the American Alaskan waters. 
Day 2 at sea.

A repeat of Day 1 but art class based on totem pole character,.and no laundry to do. Ichose a wolf , but as the day started as a pea souper………sky grey, mountains grey, water grey… the art teacher wasn’t impressed with my grey interpretation….she wanted colour and patterns . I did a second one to make her happy in red and orange.

Sun is out and we can see the distant Alaskan mountains.
Tomorrow we arrive in Ketchikan. In the morning ,we can wander around the town. In the afternoon we go to a Potlatch. This is a traditional gathering with singing and dancing. Raincoats out. Rain is predicted.
