Qaqortoq, Greenland

Yesterday the ship visited Qaqortoq. This is another small town in Greenland. The tender process was on and off due to heavy fog. By lunch time, just about every seat in the Lido and at the pool was taken. The afternoon turned out to be a beautiful day, but we decided to stay on the ship. I don’t like crowds, so we ordered room service for lunch. The temperature was warm, there was no wind, and our side of the ship was facing the sun. We spent the afternoon reading on our balcony.

The next port of call was scheduled to be St. John’s, where we could see the puffins. Unfortunately, there’s a hurricane in the area. Nobody knows exactly where the storm will go. There’s a possibility it will pass near St. Johns. It’s a really bad idea to sail a passenger ship into a hurricane. The captain changed the itinerary. Our next stop is now Halifax on Thursday. Making a change like this in a cruise is quite expensive and puts a heavy workload on the crew. Many passengers are sad to miss St. Johns, but everybody we talked with is happy with the change. The next three days are at sea.
