For those of you who thought June 21 was the longest day of the year...nope. This year, May 12 is the longest day. At least for us. Crossed the International Date Line around 6pm yesterday (sorry...no dotted line or any other demarkation). So we find ourselves with a “do over”.
On the plus side...the fog lifted. We even had a sunset! To top it off, we enjoyed a performance of a Frank Sinatra tribute artist. Lots of fun.
Today has started off well with calm seas and sun. Sunrise 6:16 & sunset at 9:37! For an extra long day, it will be filled with plenty of daylight.
Already the morning has had some excitement: Opening the curtains, I exclaimed excitedly, “there are things!”. Gina leapt from bed to balcony in one bound. Whales!
Our waiter (Max) provides us with the evening menu at breakfast. Well, actually, I get the dinner menu...Gina gets the dessert menu. Then we decide whether or not we will go “off piste” and order something special. We have been trying to order rack of lamb, but Max has steered us towards something else on the regular menu. He has been right every time. So, tonight is the night! Rack of lamb for dinner.
Today, in addition to whales, we have SUN. The temperatures are still around 5C/41F & the ocean 3C, but the sun makes a world of difference. I am just in, from 3 hours on deck. Left Gina there. We had sun cloud & even some rain...and sandwiches. Skipping lunch such that we can have tea!
Naps required after such a “long” day!
Looked ahead at the weather for Kodiak (Wednesday, I think). Should be fair & warmer. Sunset at around 10:30pm!
