We had a good sail away from Vancouver yesterday, with smooth seas along the inner passage. I think the crew is new, as it’s not as slick service as when we were on Riviera, plus the ship is notably smaller so you have to queue a little. We’ve met some interesting people whilst having coffee or fixing internet problems, and bumping into ex Rocky Mountainer guests.

I started our first sea day with an hour long stationery bike ride, whilst Hazel knitted amongst the craft group in the Horizon’s lounge. This is a favourite haunt of ours, with a panoramic view over the bow. We both attended the “Gold” lecture as Alaska has such a history with the 3 gold rushes, and we’ll be visiting a number of old towns/ports involved in them.

I finished up with a couple of K’s around the walking track, 13 laps equals 1 nautical mile. The exercise was in anticipation of an excellent dinner in the speciality Italian diner Toscana, and it didn’t disappoint.

Tomorrow we will be in Wrangell, for our Premium Glacier Discovery tour, and hopefully find me a new razor….yes my brand new one from Australia fell apart this morning. The concierge gave me toiletries pack with an old fashioned razor blade, I’m recovering quite nicely from all the shaving nicks thank you !
