Thursday was a whole day spent at sea traveling north along the coast of British Columbia.

We got to see a lot of whales from the ship. This is about all you ever see of them. I do have a picture of this one's fluke, but liked this picture better because you can see where it exhaled.

What's Ryan watching?

One of many beautiful waterfalls along the way

We spent a lot of time outside just watching the scenery, especially when we got out of the rough open water and into the straits.

Looking for things to take pictures of . . .

Where we ate a majority of our meals - the Lido Restaurant on Deck 11

Grant would have liked these chess pieces.

Our deck bathed with orange sunlight

Back at the room we made up for them not having much to eat at supper . . .

By ordering room service! Complete with cookies!

That night we passed into the Alaskan time zone, 4 hours earlier than Eastern.
