Pottering Around the Bay of Finland

Every day at noon, and again before we set sail, either the captain or the officer of the watch speaks over the intercom to the entire ship.

They fill us in on pertinent info, such as when we will embark pilots, what speed the ship will go, any route changes, what the weather will be at the next port, etc. Sometimes they add a bit of nautical trivia, or share an anecdote about the upcoming port.

As we left Helsinki, the captain told us that since Estonia was so close, “We will spend much of the night pottering around the Bay of Finland.”

As you can see from the FindPenguins route detector, that’s exactly what our ship did last night.Meer informatie
