Hello from Isafjordur!
Well, more like from hello from a ship with a view of the town of Isafjordur as I never made it ashore today. It wasn’t because of the tender situation, either. Waters appeared smooth which is always a plus.

It’s not because I’m afraid of getting my hair wet, or fearful of braving such cold temperatures as these

| Take note of the sunrise and sunset times. It’s never dark in these lands! |
But Scooter? That’s a different story. As I found out during our last cruise, wet surfaces and scooter tires are a bad combination. With only one of the three wheels with a drive belt on it, I have to be super careful when driving on slippery surfaces. Even a little baby turn or a tiny little bump can cause me to lose traction and make the scooter go catawampus.
I really wanted to go ashore, so first I went on two different outdoor decks and onto multiple surfaces to try out some white-knuckle icy-road no-four-wheel drive maneuvering. Uh, no go. Making lemonade out of lemons (and unintentionally trying out two-handed, two-footed braking skills), I did snag some pictures.

| Still some snow out there |

| These looked to be some type of fishing nets or pots |

| A closer look at them. Beautiful landscape, huh? |

| Movies Under the Stars had scenes of Glacier Bay showing. Today is certainly colder than Alaska is right now. |
