Finally - we're at sea

It was both foggy and very windy – a rare combination – leaving San Francisco on Saturday. Scot, Katie & Dar came to the pier to wave us off, which was something different!

Embarkation went fine, but luggage delivery took forever! We were onboard and in our cabin by 12:30, but didn’t get luggage until 5:30 – half an hour after we pulled up anchor. I wore only a short sleeved shirt (thinking I’d get a sweater or coat from the luggage before going out on deck) and froze my fingertips up on the top deck watching the Golden Gate bridge go over us. Of course, with the fog, you couldn’t see the top of the bridge anyway!

This morning dawned fair and clear (well, only partly cloudy) and we learned way this ocean is called the “Pacific”. I’ve been on lakes with more turbulence. We’ll take it very easy today, as I managed to throw my back out last night tossing around the luggage. Not that there’s anything we had planned, anyway.

After 24 hours, I’ll say that the Infinity is nice, but it’s no Holland-America ship.
