Light Watch #1

Having missed last night's deckwatch, we were determined to see something tonight, if there was going to be something to see.

In the end, this brief session proved to be nothing more than a good test of "Night Mode" on our cameras which was, as it turned out, almost as much of a revelation as seeing the Lights.

Moored offshore at Alta owing to the earlier arrival of other ships, gave us wonderful views over the harbour, breathtakingly captured by night mode.



But as you can see, the deck was covered in ice, the wind was blowing, and the cloud cover was dense. No lights were to be seen. Even sitting under a blanket was not comfort enough. We beat a hasty retreat to the lower decks.
