Day two of 'at sea' and a warm sun greets us

Second day 'steaming' back down the coast into warmer weather. What a difference a night makes; we've gone from -8°C in Alta to 6°C in Fredvag, a small town we passed near to earlier this morning.

It's still windy on deck but the wind chill is negligible as compared with how it was, especially in Honningsvag, and it does feel we are coming home.

Last night we were greeted  with a spectacular show of the Northern lights once we'd moved out of the fjords and were at sea. My phone didnt do it justice but to get a second slice of cherry pie was superb.

There was quite a swell but less roll so I slept like the preverbial log.

Waking up the sun was just breaking the horizon; a very different sun from that in the north which had been less strong in its glare and colour. Cameras seem to have no problem photographing it whereas now, it would cause white-out.

Anyway, I have Spotify giving me an earful of Future Sounds of London, a glass of sparkling water and the alarm set for the Bluenose Ceremony. I'll tell you more when the time comes...
