My first "normal" day.
Today has been about as average of a day as I have had since I got here. There is really not all that much going on right now that is really different, we spent the day at Isla San Marcos, the bird sanctuary that we were at last week, and while the birds were interesting, they weren’t really interesting enough for me to go out of the way for a return visit. That coupled with the fact that in just a couple of days we will be headed over some rough seas on our way up to Alaska. The Captain gave a pretty good description of the conditions on the way up there, so in essence we are going to get pummeled for most of the trip. From the description that he gave we are to expect to see 15 foot swells on average for most of the journey. From what I understand there will most likely not be anyone on the boat who at least isn’t going to feel a bit under the weather, of course some will handle it better than other. I have decided to ingest as much ginger as possible between now and when we arrive in Juneau so that I can have everything going for me possible.
I do hope to get off of the boat at least one more time, since this will be the last time I’ll be in Baja for a while, anyways. We have two more full days here and as always they will be amazing, so with any luck it will happen. I’m starting to get more and more in tune with the food and the galley, so finding time is getting easier. I’m sure that by the time we get up to Alaska I will have the whole thing down enough to really get to see the part of the US that I have been longing to see for so long now. I plan to do a little research in the next couple of days to see what the weather has been like up there so I have an idea. It’s God’s country, I’m sure.
Tomorrow I’ll talk about what we are doing to get ready for our big trip north and I’ll also talk a bit about what some of my plans are for when I get home in June.
