Greetings all,

Still lot's of fog, the fog horn has been sounding off all last night and all day. Voice from the bridge informs us that we are heading into iceberg territory, we should start seeing them in the morrow, "seeing" being the key word and not bumping into them.

We met our cruise director today, she is not typical of persons with that title, rather quiet, does her job well with none of the brashness of others we've met, She comes from Co. Durham close to Dorothy's home town so I just listened while they talked!

Toe went to the show tonight for the 1st. Time, it was very good, a couple from Ireland he on guitar and she on violin, they played a mixture of Irish and Broadway show tunes kept our feet tapping and hands clapping. We then walked about inside, twas too chilly on deck stopping here and there to chat and had a look in the Jewelry shop to see the two watches made from material that was brought up from the depths when the wreck of the Titanic was discovered, the designer who's name eludes me, purchased some of the metals and made 2012 of these watches with huge faces that may appeal to the well heeled with a watch fetish. I do have a watch fetish but I'm not well heeled so I shan't be buying one. Watch #1 is only a mere $22,000.00. Watch #2 is conditionally sold and it's going for $14,000.00. I forgot to ask if they were water proof!!! :)

The itinerary shows us at sea tomorrow, but for reasons we were told but I can't recall we arrive in Greenland at 1300h tomorrow Thursday. I have my toque, waterproof coat and gloves at hand, we will be at anchor and so will tender into the town. In warmer climes we try to avoid sitting in the enclosed bow of the lifeboat, it gets uncomfortably hot. I have a feeling that everyone will try to hog the bow this time.

TTFN, I'll check the satellite signal tomorrow and with luck this will be on it's way before arrival.

THURSDAY

Good morning, it looks like we still have signal, so I'll give it a try
