2nd day of cruise - at sea

---

Another damp and misty day. This morning we travelled close to islands and in the afternoon, it was mostly open sea travel. The seas are relatively smooth with only the occasional swell. We went to a lecture conducted by a marine ecologist Bruce Bauerle who included a slide show about whales, orca and dolphins. He said we should see whales tomorrow night and later on in near Juneau. We had a game of shuffleboard this afternoon, Maur’s form was good in the warm up and got better at gametime defeating me reasonably easily. Met our remaining dinner table guests tonight, George & Edith Brown from NE Ohio - George is the local fire chief and said 80% of callouts are now medical emergencies only. Tonight’s “showtime” in the theatre was pretty good, called The Piano Man, it featured many different piano man signers and the showtime group did renditions of all the well known hit songs for 1 hour - it was a fast moving, colourful and classy show.
