We spent much of the morning packing, but enjoyed some time by the pool in deck chairs.
Unlike other days, our presentation took place in the afternoon.
Our first five presentations have received rave review from both passengers and staff, with many personal comments and follow-ups. We really couldn't have done better.
Entering the Juan de Fuca Straits, we were entranced, as always of the Olympic Mountains on the starboard side, and Vancouver Island on our port side.
The original schedule had us stopping for shore excursions and visits to Victoria at 6:00 pm. the headwinds and heavy seas of the previous two day slowed our progress and we couldn't get ashore until 7:30, which made for a short evening on land.
We were greeted on land by our good friend, Brenda Hazelton, who lives in Victoria. She is a port greeter and was dressed in the charming costume of the Victorian era. She invited us to her home, where we were pleasantly surprised to also see our mutual friends, Steve and Janis, another couple from the Sands. What a good time we had chatting about a wide variety of subjects!
All too soon, it was time to return to the ship for a slow-speed crossing to Vancouver, where our cruise will end on Sunday.
Brenda and Jim, thank you so much!
