Adventure Day 09 Bering Sea

A very calm day on the Bering Sea

A totally lazy day. We are charging along at 6 knots. I think that’s about 3 miles per hour. And i can walk faster than that.  Apparently we aren’t in any rush and the fearsome Bering Sea is like a lake. The sea goddess will take her revenge later in the voyage.

My much deserved afternoon nap (not to be confused with the morning nap) was interrupted with an announcement of whales on the port side.  My cabin is  starboard. Since it’s time for coffee and cookies, I come out. Indeed there are orca. Nope, no pictures.

But there were plenty of people out shooting whales.

It makes me happy seeing people so excited about whales.

The exercise yard this morning.
And the pool and hot tubs.

There is also a very fine sauna.

Cormorants from yesterday

Also from yesterday: flowers.

Cow parsnips.
The unfortunately named whorled lousewort.
This phlox like plant is a skunk leaf polemonium. I guess it does not have a very fine name either.
Lupine

Tomorrow it will be Dutch Harbor. I suspect we will be able to get ashore on the tenders.
