Cruising the Outside Passage

There was land visible on the port side until about 1pm, but we are on the starboard side. So we only saw it when we were out of the cabin. That said there was some rolling, but not too rough seas all day. I saw a lone puffin struggling mightily to escape the ship's wake when I first opened the curtains this morning. Clay saw a school of porpoises and later we both saw 2 porpoises out the cabin door. The sun shone most of the day and visibility was good but not much to see. We watched multiple movies. I picked up another needlepoint kit.

We had breakfast downstairs today since it is Saturday and a sea day. We really don't like to spend that long getting a meal and still prefer Terrace buffet. On Sirena, the GDR turned into Jacques Cafe or Bistro at noon, so we went today for lunch. The menu outside was not the Jacques we remember from earlier this year on Sirena so we went back upstairs to Terrace. Terrace has an Alaskan Fish & Chips and Beer dinner tonight so that is what we plan. I'll hope for a pasta or stir fry I can eat. Hopefully Clay will enjoy it. He is in the gym on the treadmill now.

That's about it. It has been an easy, lazy sea day.  Tomorrow we should be in Victoria, BC from noon to 6pm. We have booked an independent excursion through Shore Excursions Group from 1:30pm that lasts 3.5 hours and visits Victoria Castle with City Sightseeing. It is predicted to rain the entire time of our visit. We'll dress accordingly and hope for the best. I'll post now and assume nothing else noteworthy happens today.
