Not a whole lot happened here. We were at sea all day with no stops in port. The NCAA Tourney started today. No TV to watch and I couldn’t even keep up with the scores on my iPhone. Sure, I was getting service, but it was Canadian and would cost too much to even bother trying to connect. Sam studied. I continued to listen to jailhouse recordings. There was our day.
We put down the books and CDs at sundown to watch the sunset behind the mountains. All the snow was now gone, except on the mountain peaks. Spring has obviously come in the Pacific Northwest. I saw a porpoise dive in by the boat, but never saw him again. Porpoises will play and run with boats. But, this guy was content to do one jump on the wake made by the ferry, and he was gone.
We packed up in the room in anticipation of reaching Bellingham tomorrow. The lady making announcements told everyone that there would be a car deck call at 8:30pm. My phone said 8:30. No announcement for the car deck. At about 9pm, an announcement came that the car deck call would be delayed due to the upcoming boat rocking. Wait, what time is it? The boat stays on Alaska time even when we hit the Pacific time zone. Of course, all the cell phones change time when they hit the Pacific time zone towers. So, what time do we get into port? The itinerary says 8am. Is that 8am boat time or local time? Arrival time is Pacific time; all other time is Alaska time. Got it? Got it. So, we never were allowed down to the car deck until 10:30pm boat time. We watched more Flash Forward to pass the time. This show is addictive. Set the alarm for 7am Pacific time which is actually 6am boat time, because we get into port at 8am Pacific time (on the itinerary) which is 7am boat time.
Up Next: Washington (State, not DC)
