Today we awoke to the rude clock alarm set to go off at 5:00 – we were told that you could see whales beginning at 6:00 and we didn’t want to miss a thing. Well the “DAM” whales forgot to show up! So there we were all dressed and nothing to see. The weather report from the Navigator’s log said that it was partly cloudy – he must have been on another ship. It was raining here and continued to rain until we were in Glacier Bay. Then the skies lifted and although not sunny, we had a great day there. Pea Soup was served on deck as well as in the Crow’s Nest Observation lounger – where we were. Then at 10:30 we were invited to partake in wine and cheese with Margerie – the glacier.
We bundled Nana up on our balcony and she was able to have an excellent view right at her own door. All in all it was a great day!
There was lots of activity – which interprets into lots of calving at the her base. She is reported to be moving forward at a rate of 7 feet per day. Also, the glaciers here are thinning in depth. It will be interesting to compare pictures from 2 years ago, although I
think it would take more than that to see a significant difference.
After a very long luxurious sleep (none of this 5:00 am stuff) and her own personal beautification, Pam arrived on deck at approximately 10:30 to take in the wonderful sights and of course had missed nothing. She was playing poker last night and walked away – or should I say danced away - from the table with $150.00 in her pocket. She began taking more photographs.

She took a great one of Shannon, Stacy, Eileen and I. We were all smiling beautifully for her when all of a sudden Margerie let out a huge crack and we all (but Eileen) spun our heads around at precisely the moment that Pam pressed the button. Another great picture for scrapbooking.Some of us had a nap this afternoon after our early morning – I needed it and slept soundly until it was time to get up to dinner. We had dinner in the nice restaurant on board – the Pinnacle Grill. It was nice, but I think I would rather just eat in the dining room or the Lido – too fancy for me.
After I went to the internet café and was able to chat on line with Matthew, Colleen and Kim. It was nice to be in touch even though it was brief. I might try again tomorrow as I just noticed that there is a web cam on board. So that might be fun too.
Well – on to the casino to try our luck again. I am staying even and Pam is the big winner! We’ll see what luck she has tonight!
Love to everyone!
