Well, it’s been a while since we “blogged”. The Race on Sunday in Seattle was terrific – much better organized (or at least it seemed to us) than it was last year. Once again, it was held at Seattle Center in the shadow of the Space Needle. Weather too was better than last year’s drizzle; we had blue skies and sunshine for the day. Vi’s Guys was a team of 26 this year, it seems to get bigger each year. Thanks to Wanda for organizing the Seattle team again and being such a great hostess on Saturday evening and Sunday morning. She and Dave took the four of us to the ship after the Race and breakfast. Needed two cars because of all the luggage. It took about an hour to get from the drop-off point to on-board ship. It seemed like we were in one serpentine line after another. First to drop off baggage, then to get screened, then to check-in, and then finally on board the ship. At least you get a chance to make some acquaintances before getting on board.
The first night we spent getting acquainted with the ship and finding out where everything is located. Our first day was at sea on the way to Ketchikan. The seas were a little rough in the morning, but then it calmed down somewhat. Having a great time and probably eating too much, but between breakfast, lunch, tea, and dinner, you have to try them all. On Tuesday we spend the day in Ketchikan (after turning our clocks back an hour this evening because we go to Alaska Time from Pacific Time. Hopefully, I’ll be able to find an internet café in Ketchikan and send out this update.
We’re not using the cell phone or the laptop on board the ship, but we’ll try to get out some information at the various stops along the way.
