Dog Islands

 Hanging out in the Dog Islands that are in Hebron Fjord watching some very interesting lenticular clouds.  The puffy, pancake-like layers are formed when wind flows across obstacles such as mountains.  The saucer-like shape often causes them to be mistaken for UFOs. 



There is a beach landing this afternoon to a former mission but we're going to skip that and enjoy the  beautiful weather and stay on deck.   It's reached 17°C. 

Tonight we have a loyalty party with other Seabourn Club members at 5:15 and we'll be having dinner at 7 PM with one of the submarine pilots.  Yes, this ship has a submarine. It hasn't been used yet on this itinerary since the Canadian government has not allowed Seabourn to launch it.  We got to tour the "garage" where they house it and take a peek inside on a prior cruise.
