We are at the end of two sea days. Our first one was spent sailing the Sea of Labrador. We had a calm and sunny day. Nothing to see just water in every direction. We played bridge in a duplicate game in the afternoon and for those of you who will understand the next statement, we had a 79.6% game!!!
Over night the ships fog horn sounded most of the night and when we woke up, you could not see anything. We were due to sail through Prince Christian Sound. We arrived as scheduled around 10 AM. It was still foggy, but we could see. Prince Christian Sound is 60 miles long at the very southern tip of Greenland. It has many dramatic landscapes, waterfalls, glaciers, mountains and icebergs. It was damp out because of the fog, but not rainy. It never got sunny during our day but the scenery was amazing to see. One of the lecturers would give commentary as we sailed along. At one point we were able to draw close to the face of a glacier. At another point we were at the intersection of 6 different fjords. It took us about 7 hours to make the transit.










We played bridge again (no score yet).
We are now sailing in the open waters and watching icebergs float past us, or we are floating past them.
Tomorrow we have our first port in Greenland. Anticipating a very chilly day.
