Two sea days to end our cruise. One day of rollercoaster waves and gale-force winds with most time spent up in the observation room taking sneak peaks of the swells. The next morning we woke up to big swells just as we crossed the last open water before hugging Vancouver Island. The sky was clear, the swells left over from the previous day's storm. Then it was smooth sailing - and a beautiful trip for the remainder of the day travelling the inside passage. We both finished our second book, talked to people we had met over the week and relaxed! The last big supper was a five-course dinner with the traditional Baked Alaska dessert. The waiters no longer bring them in flaming - their fire insurance must have gone up - no flames but the same delicious, calorie-laden dessert and a few more notches let out on the belt.
We woke up to the TV monitor view of the Vancouver port and the Convention Centre and sunny skies - glad to be home.
