Voyage of the Vikings-Prins Christian Sund

Friday & Saturday, August 21st & 22nd At Sea We slept in this morning and enjoyed every minute of it! I decided to go to the Mariner's Luncheon for our gift Delft Tiles and Jack just walked around. I went to lunch with him and then we were pooped, so we took another nap! Dinner was formal this evening, but we were not wanting to get "dolled up" so we put on our formal evening attire (black slacks, black tops) and ate in the Lido. Now we are settling in for the evening with a TV movie or some episodes of Boston Legal, which I brought from home! We received a note from the Captain tonight about hurricane Bill. He said that "they are reviewing alternate arrangements in case we need to revise our itinerary. The storm will not impact our arrival in Boston on August 29th." Last night was quite rock'n'roll, with a few big bumps and all day today we have had some sway. Jack and still haven't needed our bracelets, yet! We'll have to see what "Bill" does to us!

Oh yes, days at sea! Today we cruised the Prins Christian Sund(Sound) again. Last time I was too sick to even look out the window, but today I was ready to go out & watch. And watch we did! I found a perch at the very top deck and watched this beauty go by. It is very much like the inside passage in Alaska, where at times you could spit to land. But there also were 6 or 8 glaciers where calfing was going on and there were still a lot of icebergs, although far less than when we were through 4 weeks ago! The day started very blue and sunny, although quite cold, but I really enjoyed sitting in the sun all bundled up while Jack walked about taking pictures and chewing peoples' ears off. Today we did hot chocolate a few times to keep warm. After the sun and fresh air it was time for a snooze and then off to the Dining Room for dinner with some of our 1258 new friends. Tonight was with two couples we have never sat with before and the conversation, at this point in our 5 weeks, has turned to "gripes"! Everyone has had some room problems and rude people problems so it has become the most popular mode of communication! Jack is doing fine with most things, but he is also starting to "gripe"! You know it takes him a long time for him to get to that point, but he is starting to "gripe" with the best of them! I have become so bored with the food that at dinner I only eat fruit, soup and salad, with no dessert, only a decaf cappuccino. Tonight the Captain told us that we were going to continue with our regular itinerary for the remainder of the cruise, as "Bill" should be passed us by the time we get to the Canadian waters. He also said that we could encounter winds that could prevent us from tendering at St Anthony, Newfoundland. Ok, so we'll keep the sea bracelets handy!
