We left the dock just after 5 pm Wednesday. The Captain called us all to our muster stations for emergency training. I think that every sailing the Columbia trains the passengers on emergency procedures such as how to put on life jackets. The Captain warned us all to switch our wireless devices such as phones and IPads to airplane mode before entering Canadian waters. Otherwise we should be prepared for a big financial surprise of shockingly large roaming charges for Canadian data service. I am writing this in airplane mode and I will send it out tomorrow when we cross into US waters and reasonable data charges.
The movie theater was showing the latest James Bond movie. But we got there too late for a seat. All filled.
Ellen and I decided to watch the water from the forward observation deck. The seas picked up just a little bit when we hit open Canadian waters south of Ketchikan. We talked and watched us rock and roll for the evening. Watching the ocean is a bit like sitting around campfire and watching the the fire pop and crackle. Very calming and relaxing. I was looking and I did not see even one person "chumming for salmon" over the side. By the time we were ready for bed we were back in the protected waters of the inside passage. Back to our normal calm seas. It was a good day for us.
