CRUISING THE INSIDE PASSAGE



Waking up on Day 2 we were pleasantly surprised by glorious sunshine.  A lot of open water to begin with, but now as we are beginning our journey between the coast and Haida Gwaii the clouds are rolling in and the mist is creating a certain mystique in and amongst the shoreline and the hills beyond.   We are closer to the coast than to Haida Gwaii, so these images are our beautiful BC Coastline.




So Colton today is back up in kids club and beginning the HAL Olympics!
  He appears to be the only participant today, so I expect he will be well medaled by the end of the session.  Coming on this cruise, I wasn’t sure how willing he would be to spend time there however, clearly the 8 hours they are open in a day from 10 am to 10 pm, excluding meal times, aren’t enough for him!

Skies seem pretty bright still – even though the forecast says rain for tomorrow while we are in Juneau, I am feeling optimistic.  So as the day progressed, we enjoyed the scenic part of our cruise and before long, Sarah was tracked down in the early evening from the kid’s club – Colton had finally hit a wall and was so tired from his first two days.  He just needed Mom and his bed.  He wasn’t upset just sooo tired.

So we all had a relatively early night and tonight the clocks go back an hour, so we should all be refreshed for our first stop in Juneau tomorrow.

Day 2 has ended and now we are ready for our first on shore adventure tomorrow.
