Flexible seating and inside cabins

We chose flexible seating for dinners and are finding it reminiscent of B&B’s in Atlantic Canada. Our tablemates thus far have been from Princeton, B.C., Florida, Georgia, Australia and Seattle. Most have been chatty, friendly and interesting. Only Mrs. Princeton sat grimly sipping soup, scowling at her husband and nodding sharply when asked a question. She appeared to be barely holding herself together while suffering from the motion – a very worrying sign since we’d only just left Vancouver and the water was like glass.

Our inside cabin is comfortable but strange since it is pitch-black when the lights are out no matter the time of day. 8:30 in the morning is indistinguishable from 2:30 am – very disconcerting. However the air is fresh, cool and comfortable. We felt our first swells this morning at 8:30 as we lost the protection of the islands and crossed Queen Charlotte Sound but the water is generally as smooth as the ocean is capable of being.
