Comments

We are still sailing in open seas but there remains a lot of icebergs to gaze at. It never ceases to amaze that every iceberg you see is different depending on the light, shade and how much the wind and seas have worn away the ice. Every facet changes as we sail past. The berg may look reasonably benign with a flat side but as we sail past the opposite side has been worn and there are indents of vivid royal blue or small bays that are getting larger as the ocean does it's work. You never get tired of watching them.

Shipboard life is settling into a routine with people enjoying time on the bridge studying, reading or enjoying the view. Others watching movies in the lounge areas or playing games. The day is interspersed with 'food o'clock' ie meals.

Cheers
