At Sea from Seward
— Alaska Cruise/Expedition 2019
I had a very slow morning after a night of bad sleep – I definitely caught something that started as muscle aches and ended as a cough and cold. My wife explored the ship in the morning and went to a presentation about the Iditarod that she was very impressed with. I joined her for an introduction to Glacier Bay with the ship’s nature host. This nature host is an interesting speaker who is part Tlingit and grew up on a fishing boat in the area.
The ladies went to another “Mixology” session and learned to make some summery drinks. Unfortunately we do not keep several of these ingredients on hand, so these recipes probably won’t see much use.

We went to the “Off the Charts” musical review on the main stage, then to bed early.
