Whale Watching

Well they called it Wildlife Watch, to be entirely accurate, but everyone knew we were there to see whales.

9am, Deck 6, last night's snow frozen into crunchy clumps underfoot, wind whistling past your lugholes, all very bracing.

Some hardy souls stayed out for two hours, staring at the rolling sea and the steel-grey skies. We managed maybe fifteen minutes before slinking back inside and grabbing a much more comfortable viewing station indoors on Deck 9.

Irrespective of location, none of us saw anything. Much later in the day the call came that there were dolphins bow riding off the port side, but again, we didn't see any.
