I plan on asking about the internet system so we will know ahead of time. The internet is pretty good actually I am surprised.

Also will ask the expedition staff about the Northwest Passage and the Japanese Islands to see if I can gain any insight for Narwal and Sumo.

I can never remember for sure which cruise the dining room managers are on but I do believe he was on B2B. He may move around the ships and not just stay on the Discoverer. It has been a zoo since we boarded but I will manage to visit with him at some point. They are always super busy getting all the guests familiar with all the procedures.

I think the weather gods did us in today. The wind was high and the planned landing had large colonies of puffins and that would have been better. But on our plan B we did see puffins, some great sea lions and also some purple striped an bright orange starfish that were neat. We were out two hours and did get a little wet at times. The scenery is lovely with huge outcrops of rocks and then bright green islands covered with trees.

Ken is looking at pictures but I know he wants more opportunities without so much swell it makes it much harder to take good shots.
