Thursday on our way to Nanortalik

Icebergs; The Speed Boat, The Pair, and The Mama and Calf.

Today is a sea day and not much to report. We had a great view of the Auora Borealis last night. We had left a call with the front desk to call if one was cited and they did about 11:30 PM. The Aurora borealis was interesting to see up close and it was quite an impressive light show. We rocked a little all day and it has been cloudy and cold, temperature in the mid to high 30’s.
I cussed the internet most of the day trying to stay on line long enough to send the blog. Yesterday evening, as you know, I finally got to stay on long enough to send it.
We sited some icebergs this morning, medium sized ones. We have not seen any of the really big ones so far. I take that back, we saw a big one off in the distance, I don’t know how tall it was but it was impressive.
We have a strong wind over the deck and the ship is hard to maneuver at slow speeds with this type of wind. So we came down south out of Nuuk, and then to keep the speed up for smooth maneuvering, we turned around and headed back north for awhile. When the time was right to keep our speed up and arrive in Nanortalik on time we headed back south.
At dinner tonight our head waiter brought out pesto pasta. It was good, but not as good as the first three nights. After dinner we came back to the cabin to prepare for our day in Nanortalik, Greenland.
