Seward, Alaska

Notice the flags on this boat in the Seward Harbor...

We did see a little sunshine in Seward.

Seward was yet another day of rain, rain, and more rain (and even some high winds). As we type this report, we are about to depart from our day-long stay at this drop-off point for eight of our Cruise Specialists’ passengers, and welcome four newcomers. We had a tour of the Kenai Peninsula (by boat) scheduled today, but when we arrived at the Mariner Lounge to meet our tour guides, we were informed that the tour had been cancelled due to poor weather. Our response…”Oh well!”

So, we visited with some of our friends, Glenn and Judy Weirick, then went to their room where we gave them training sessions: Jan re-taught Judy how to knit a scarf (OK, Jan says no laughing anyone!), and Jerry taught Glenn how to process pictures and put them into a PowerPoint presentation on his laptop. Then we had a leisurely lunch in the Compass Rose dining room, followed by about an hour’s conversation and laughs over tea and dessert with the Weiricks and Cliff and Leslyn Ashdown (from Brisbane, Australia).

When we had worn out our welcome in the dining room, we came back up to our room and worked on this and three other blogs. As we finish this one…we will be caught up with them for the first time this cruise! We still, of course, have a lot of catching up to do on our website photos. That will, hopefully, happen on our upcoming four day crossing to Petrapovlosk, Siberia, Russia. Stay tuned…
