at sea, and w
e are having a smooth
e are having a smooth sail down the coast of Oregon. We left Vancouver at 5PM with horns blowing and cheers as we went under the Lions Gate Bridge. The evening was filled with food, more food and a really funny comedy show. Then, off to bed and a quiet night. I slept like a baby and Jim was unsettled. I think it was the late night coffee! We have two days of cruising before we reach LA, and I plan to set myself up with my knitting. Jim is planning to listen to a book on tape and prowl around the ship. This is like a floating city, so there's lots of prowling you can do. We have an account for internet hook up now, so we can read and send messages daily. Love, Jim and Virginia (Mom and Dad)
P.S. Now that we are home, I can add more information. The first person taken off the ship was in Port Angeles, before we even left the area; someone fell and injured himself. We were eating our first dinner in the dining room, bragging to our table mates that we knew exactly where we were on our way out of the Strait going past Victoria. As we looked and pointed, things started appearing on the wrong side of the boat. We had stopped and were waiting for the Coast Guard to take off the injured person. So much for know it alls! Next stop, Los Angeles, next door to the Queen Mary.
