Sun Sept 15 - Sea Day

It remains foggy most of the night and morning. No chance of northern lights last night.

The temperature hovers at about 40. By early afternoon the fog clears and the sun is bright. An unexpected observation. I have glasses that automatically darken with UV light exposure. Well here they get much darker than in Florida. One would guess that the UV component of the sunlight must be much stronger here, but actually it is much less. It is the cold temperature that makes  the glasses turn darker when exposed to UV. Learn something new each day.

The bridge spots some whales, the passengers less fortunate. I bundle up and head outside on deck 12, but only see multiple icebergs. 

The fog comes and goes.

BBQ ribs will be the choice for dinner tonight. Our waiter brings our menus and procedes to tell us there are no ribs. A provisioning snafu somewhere.  Considering the amount of provisons loaded each cruise it is a compliment that this doesn't happen more often.

While we don't hear any shows from the theater in our cabin, we do hear some musicians and dancers practicing late at night. Possibly in another nearby space or backstage.

The seas remain under 2 meters and we procede slowly. Tomorrow we will be in Nuuk, Greenland.
