This morning the sun rise was beautiful which, I think is why we were all surprised as we headed down the Pacific Coast. Yes, the Captain had warned us about the restrictions requiring cruising speed of no more than 10 knots/hour from Astoria to Southern California. This also explained the two sea days for the distance. Slower is cheaper than heading far out to sea then back in at a fast rate. This was also cruise which has had so many itinerary changes that I quit noticing any of the California ports other than San Diego.
Anyway – the fog rolled in shortly after sunrise. I noticed only because the fog horn started sounding regularly. There was essentially no visibility for hours – the usual feeling of being surrounded by cotton batting. It was early afternoon when the fog lifted and I saw this ship off our starboard side
against the sun, I couldn’t easily identify it and got curious.
You can see from MarineTracker how close the two ships seem – the other being the Celebrity Eclipse. Entertainment and data finding finished, I went back to audiobooks and stitching.
This is the middle of TeaRex, the companion piece to Jurassic Perk. The pattern is also from SilverCreek Samplers, the thread is DMC. Tomorrow I will finish the cup, the Dino and a few more letters. The only other thing I now have in progress is Witches’ Cabinet with a daily small section.
