Yep, you see it correctly. The sea is almost glass calm, the sun is strong and I am wearing a strapless sundress whilst sitting on the lido deck. I have been in the hydro pool every day and enjoyed a sauna too, but this beats even heading down to Cape Verde.
We reach a long passage called Prince Christian Sound tomorrow where its hoped we will see a few icebergs and perhaps some glaciers coming down to the water's edge. I'm not expecting too much in terms of cold, snow or the like but the rock formation will be spectacular; an ancient landscape being revealed as the ice and snow recedes.
More, green grass, cows and midges these days sadly.
I'm now sitting on my balcony with tea and something to eat. As usual the 'gannet' is hungry and looking forward to the evening meal.
So the day has been odd and 'socks' clocks are everywhere because we keep putting the clocks back. I'm waking at 3am and falling asleep by 9pm. As Shirley said, we have to do this all again only in reverse on the way back.
The lectures have been interesting and have given us a pretty good idea of what to expect for the next couple of days.
But now the sea fog is coming down and visibility is shrinking. Gone are the blue skies but it's still fairly warm.
So much better than Reykjavik where the wind was almost horizontal and freezing cold.
