The captain of the ship can be counted on to make an announcement at noon each day. He points out some trivia and the gives us the weather forecast for the day and for the next port of call. The captain noted that the aurora was visible this morning before sunrise at 4 AM. I wasn’t up at that time. He said the possibility of seeing it tonight was very slim with the overcast skies.
The sea is a little rough today and it’s windy. He used the weather conditions to talk about how
waves are formed in the ocean by wind.
They eventually die out when the winds stop. Ir is getting colder, too.
Based on my use of an online navigation tool, the ship seems to be about
halfway to Greenland this afternoon. The
ship will tender at Qaqortoq,
Greenland, tomorrow morning. I hope
the seas aren’t too rough for the me to go ashore.
