We were awake bright and early again. Once we were up and ready, we went to the Windjammer for some breakfast. Graham had fruit followed by oatmeal and I had congee and sausages. We both had apple juice and some coffee. After breakfast, we quickly headed back to the cabin to pick up what we…

That day we were headed for what had become my favourite Alaskan port in 2022, Icy Strait Point. We had a nice long day there this time with a port arrival time on 08:00 and all aboard at 19:30. We would be back again on the second leg of our adventure, and we had planned…

We were awake at 06:30 and got up and ready.  As soon as we were ready, we headed up to the Windjammer for some breakfast. It was grey and dreary, but it was dry. I took some photos of the beautiful scenery and I finally got around to take a photo of the totem pole.…

When we woke up, we had no idea what the time was. That is part of the reason why I really love interior cabin. Once your door is closed, you are really completely removed from everything. I never sleep quite as well as I do when I cruise in an interior cabin. When I checked…

 As much as I had enjoyed our stay in Vancouver, I was glad that it was time to meet our newest ship. I had set the alarm for 08:00 just in case, but we were wide awake at 07:00. We took turns getting showered. Then we finished our little filled sponge cakes, and I finished…

Even though I had slept in stops and starts, I was awake at 6:00. I checked on how Radiance was doing. She had made good progress since I had last checked. Not only was she back in Canadian waters, but Victoria was already on the tracking map. The captain had definitely the pedal to the metal during the…

I made it to just after 5 that morning. I got caught up online and read for a bit. Then I had another go at some sleep. I did wake up again just after 8. Graham was awake, too and we took our time to get ready. After a day that was jam packed with…

After a fairly good night, we were both awake at 4:30. There was no way I would go back to sleep. I continued to work on my trip report. Graham was also awake but went back to sleep. We got up just before 7:00 and took turns having a shower. Then we headed out. Now that we had worked out…

We had set our alarm for 7:30. I was awake a few minutes before then. I noticed that I had a lot of WhatsApp messages. I rarely use WhatsApp and was kind of surprised by this. It turned out they were from the owner of the guesthouse we were staying at in Vancouver providing the…

We had set the alarm for 09:00 and woke up just before then. We must have needed our beauty sleep. We took turns having a shower and packed the few odds and ends that we had unpacked. Then we headed downstairs to check out. The wait for the lift to go downstairs felt like the…
