SEADAY

Early morning this morning we had to be on deck at 6:30am as we were right in front of Amalia glacier. It was a little bit foggy and cloudy, which obstructed the view somewhat. Besides that it was still spectacular. The fact that they were serving spicey Bloody Mary’s for $5 made it even better. Not quite the perfect Canadian breakfast. (For the folks who don’t know, a Ceaser is referred to as the Canadian breakfast) We managed to get some nice photographs before we sailed away from the glacier. After this we were going back to on board activities. For the rest of the morning we sailed through the protection of the fjords on our way back to the open ocean. When we were entering back into the open waters of the south Pacific, we had to deal with 40+ miles wind and swells as high as 20ft. This went on for the next 5hrs before we entered the next fjord, the strait of Maggelan. The shelter from the fjords made the sailing much more comfortable. Through the day we entered a few trivia games. We learned that Canada has over 310,000 lakes, more then all other country’s combined. Also Canada is the country with the highest percentage of college and university degrees of all country’s. (who knew). That was most of the excitement for the day.
