As Andrew Murray won Wimbledon as I was watching a whale and dolphins in a flat calm North Sea on a hot afternoon with a heavy sea fret and an oily, delicately rippled water surface to the sea and reflecting on yet another enjoyable and fascinating cruise. The weather had been just wonderful for the last 15 days, my table companions had been great fun and I had enjoyed some great sights and wildlife watching.
The high points:
· Crossing the tidal race at Bodø in the Zodiac
· Basking in the Midnight Sun
· Life’s little coincidences – learning about the renovated makeshift cabin to the James Caird (The boat that Ernest Shackleton sailed from Elephant Island to South Georgia) and seeing the graves of the men from the Durham Light Infantry who fought alongside the Russians to prevent the Germans extending their Eastern Front, in the cemetery at Archangel.
I hope you have enjoyed this Blog. My next adventure will be at the end of January 2014 when I will be joining Balmoral on the two middle sectors of her Round the World Voyage from Dubai via Sri Lanka, Burma, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan and Hawaii to San Diego.
So its “Goodbye” from him (Greig’s mascot troll) and its “Goodbye” from me until the next time!!
