A day at sea

A day at sea as we sail to our first stop at St Matthew’s Island, roughly 300 miles south west of Nome. During lunch we thought we could see St Lawrence Island on the horizon, otherwise has just been sea. Very smooth voyage so far, the sea has been totally flat although the forecast is for the wind to get up this evening and create a few waves. Otherwise some admin things to do, have collected our boots to wear when we use the small zodiac boots the use and spent time booking excursions for the days ahead. Everything is done using the Hurtigruten app, booking the excursions was reasonably straightforward, the limited spaces one initially we wanted didn’t confirm immediately, but a visit to the expedition desk quickly confirmed it. Meals is a bit variable the restaurant booking confirms, but some have disappeared from our bookings list! We now always make a manual note of our reservation time. The last 2 photos were taken from the cabin balcony, the first was taken at midnight the second at 06:00 in the morningRead more
