Day 25 - At sea again (3rd September) We awoke with a shock (well actually the wife did!). After our midnight jaunt we ended up sleeping in until around 10.00am. Quickly getting up, showering we headed up to breakfast only to discover they were just cleaning up. We managed a fruit compote and a sticky bun and a cuppa. Oh well, it made up for all the other food we had been eating and we were not going to die from starvation. Brunch could be had in the dining...

Day 24 (2nd September) Glacier Bay Today we spent the day sailing through the beautiful Glacier Bay. The Park rangers boarded the ship around 6.30am.

Originally designed for the Microsoft phone it has been further develo...

Day 21 (30th August) Ketchikan The alarm went off at 6.30am as we wanted to be up ready for when we docked at 7.00am.
