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.

January 2022: Seabourn Odyssey

 January 28, 2022 - Quarantined in Barbados

We had an exciting start to our cruise from Barbados. We had a bit of trouble upon entry. The travel clinic gave us the wrong test so it was rejected. Usually that means you take an antigen test at the airport. No problem.

Then, we assume we got flagged because we had been in Mexico in the last 21 days. We had to take a PCR test at the airport. Upon arrival at our hotel, the hotel employee informed us we had to quarantine in our room. And I burst out into tears. I really thought when we arrived at the hotel we were done.
