Part Seven: Down the Saint Lawrence: A Day “At-Sea”
Thursday was our “at-sea” day. I put the at-sea in quotes because we were
sailing down the Saint Lawrence Seaway, which, though we didn’t dock, we could
hardly be thought to be at-sea.
Nevertheless, this day was this itinerary’s only day without a
port-of-call. Days without calls are
really much different than days when the ship is calling at a port.
For breakfast, the main dining room
served breakfast until around 9:30. Mike
wasn’t as interested in dining in there as I was, so I went down for breakfast
while he slept in a little.
After breakfast I went out on deck
to get some photos of the cloudy, overcast skies.

Around lunchtime, Mike and I went
to the main dining room for the Returning Mariners Brunch, which is a special
meal for returning cruisers.

| The main: salmon |
 |
| The dessert: custard tarte |
Thursday afternoon was largely an
afternoon of nothing: reading, relaxing,
meandering, and so on. These at-sea days
are really a pretty welcome break from the normal on-and-off, hustle-and-bustle
of daily ports of call.
The day was capped off with the
best towel creature of the trip:
