The cold got worse, I ran a fever, lost my appetite, and spent most of the day sleeping. Later I tested positive for covid. La Prof was sure I caught it from LPCR’s husband (who had a running no...

I didn’t sleep well last night as a cold was developing - I was feeling a sore throat coming on. I probably shouldn’t have pushed to walk to the breakwater yesterday. Also the people in the next...

This was a stop made because of the Jones Act, which requires an internationally-flagged ship to stop at at least one non-US port. Otherwise, the ship must abide by US labour laws. So this is n...

We make our way back to Seattle today, and it was a sea day. We moved back to PST, which was just fine on a sea day. We just have less time being awake. I figured out that the women’s Euro final...

Today we anchored at an even smaller Alaskan port. We woke up with the ship already anchored but outside was just fog. As we ate breakfast, though, the fog started to burn off, and revealed a lo...

Today we docked at Icy Strait Point. It’s a town developed solely for the cruise industry. The program director likened it to “Disneyland of Alaska”, but I think it’s more like Mandrogy in terms...

---

We docked today at Ketchikan. I’d been there before in 2000. But this time the ship docked outside of town at Ward Cove, and our excursion took us to Lake Harriet Hunt, in the other direction, s...

Today was a sea day and it was very laid back. I went to breakfast with LPCR and we were surprised by how empty the place was. La Prof joined us later, then she and I headed to the theatre for t...
