A CALM SEA DAY

As we woke up we found a calm and misty sea stable but with low visibility, which ensured us a soft ride through the sea, with basically no waves.  A few birds did follow us among them Fulmars and Kittiwakes and occasionally we saw some Guillemots in the water even do some of us saw a dolphin emerging on the side of the vessel. People got very relax and some reading and some eating their nut shells.

 

Right after lunch we did the rubber boot trial, that was for those persons that did not brought their own and thus to avoid to get wet during some of our landings. Later our guests went to some lectures and many participated in M.r Wang Chzn Ya, a master in Taoism where passengers were learning ways to relax the body. As the day progressed the fog was thicker and we had lesser visibility than in the morning. 

SMOKY BAY

We arrived to Reykjavik or smoky bay – this area was one of the first placed inhabited by the Vikings in the island and its name is to translate to smoky bay.  It is a clean and art oriented town from the street walk to street to bottle and other items recycling centers.

During the afternoon at our arrival soft rain came along while we embarked. After we got our vessel registration card and the rest of the paper work we did our mandatory safety drill.  As soon as the mandatory embarkation and check in work was done we left Reykjavik and departed with misty rainy weather and calm seas. Later during the evening we had a welcome reception on which our captain said some welcome words.
