And the weather went to total trash last night. Lovely rough seas, wind, rain, and the same level of fun as we had in the Pacific. The Captain had come on the tannoy and simply stated that it wasn’t going to be safe attempting to enter our last port, so we were going to be heading around the top of Iceland and back to shelter along the souther coast of Iceland. Our docking billet was clear, so if there was a pilot available, we could be even docking early in Reykjavik. I didn’t see that many people upset.
Frankly, I didn’t see all that many people up and about early this morning. But the ship had certainly tossed about all night and it continued well into this morning. So color me having a nice quiet day stitching, lazing around except for doing an add on workshop on iPhone photography. Turns out Rosemary & Pat are once again the onboard lectures (they were on the Breeze for a portion of our Oct/Nov 2023 Pacific sailing). It was fun. Like most people with an iPhone, I hadn’t explored all of the menus and settings…
By 1000 we were past the worst of it and within reasonable striking distance of safe harbor. Even better, we had a pilot by 1500 and were alongside the pier by later in the afternoon. Once again, we are right on the edge of old town. A few people headed off this evening. I just headed to supper, George got room service secondary to a board call.
A day at sea, audio books, cross stitching on one of the Steampunk Sheep from Forbidden FiberCo
And, oh yes, the t-shirt. It says “Valkyrie Knitting Society” and the small print says “Knit fast, die warm”
