Boat Day 13 Bellot Strait

Out with my fellow walruses this morning.

I wasn’t all that excited about a zodiac trip to look at old Hudson Bay Trading Company establishment Fort Ross. However, the sun was out. Never mind that it was snowing a little.

It was sleeting a bit at 7:15 this morning when I was our for my exercise walk and some hardy soul had been in the jacuzzi.

During breakfast, what should appear but an 87 meter sailing yacht. The Aquijo.

Ashamed to report that I took this picture with my iPad since my phone was in the cabin charging.
What’s left of Ft Ross. It was abandoned in 1948.
Home Sweet Home

Getting in and out of the gear and riding around in a cold zodiac was rather tiring. So I decided to have a bowl of soup, so I was in the restaurant when we passed the northern most point in the continental Americas. You could walk from here to Patagonia. It really wasn’t all that impressive.

Passengers queue up to photograph northern most location on continental Americas.

There’s a zodiac trip planned for 6 or 7 this evening. I would like to go, but it’s rough, foggy, and sleety. Not sure if I want to see polar bears that bad. Or if they will even go. Last night’s zodiac trek was canceled because of wind.

PS this evening’s zodiac trek has been canceled due to snow.
