We have been to Hubbard Glacier and had some fantastic days in the past. This one "took the cake" It was so calm and even warm on the top deck with the sun shining so brightly. I think the warmth may have contributed to all the calving. It just kept on happening many times. We were far closer than we have ever been before and probably ever will be again.

RAIN today. The sunshine has left us and it is very overcast and dreary today in Valdez. I know Leslie and Brad were not sure they were going to do the Kyaking this morning, looking outside they may still be onboard. We do not go out until after lunch - hopefully it may improve by then.

Dover Sole in Prime 7 last night was wonderful! As we all trooped straight down to our rooms it occurred to me how every cruise is different. We have not been up at night at all after dinner on this trip even though there have been sea days to sleep in. Tonight is Liars Club so we will probably stay up for that.

Won at Trivia twice and when we miss we miss by two points every time. Place is packed for trivia. We will be out this afternoon when trivia takes place so may many others, maybe the team will add a third win today.

Pooch is progressing with ARLENE really coming into her own as a great player. She is in lead on points scored and games won right now. Pat has the highest score. The competition is heating up. Jackie has just learned to play and still is trying to figure out how to play correctly. She has not yet learned there is NO way to play correctly it is so much luck!

All is well on board and glad we have about another week to go.
