Monday 9/12 - Inside Passage

Today we didn't dock anywhere, but sailed thru the narrow channel between Vancouver Island and mainland Britsh Columbia from about noon. It was sunny, warm, peaceful and calm. We spotted a few humpbacks, orcas and sea lions but mostly just relaxed - need after four ports in four days!

Tonight was the formal farewell dinner - a.k.a. "lobster night" in the cruise business. And the lobster was good, I'm told. Following that was the "grand buffet," but first there was a showing of the buffet and the accompanying ice carvings (a dozen or more) - all very beautiful. We didn't wait around to eat any.
