Love the vibrant colors and your sharp artistic eye, Erin. Good to see you and Mui having so much fun! [Diana]

Two to Travel Not sure why that is … could they be going to spam? I’ll run a test with Mui on my end.
We’re still far enough south — a little below the Arctic Circle — that we had a bit of darkness last night … and a bit of sunrise color this morning. That will change soon enough.

With Ultramarine at a standstill in front of Eqip Sermia, there was no doubt in my mind that we would be enjoying views of this river of ice from our veranda once we were back on board. Mui evenRead more

What a wonderful adventure! Thanks for sharing, Erin. [Diana]
