Storms and Bergs

Iceberg off Greenland

We went right through the weather front and it was pretty hairy. The ship was moving around quite a bit. Some passengers became very ill, but fortunately, my patch was working because the bumps didn’t bother me at all, other than making it hard to walk from point A to point B.

However, there was a real bummer aspect to the weather: we didn’t get to go to Iceland. The captain decided that it was too dangerous, given the severity level of the storm. Most of the passengers were disappointed because Iceland was going to be one of the highlights of the trip. I decided that I wasn’t going to let it bother me, though, because I don’t want to waste any of my precious vacation moments on being upset or angry.

Given that we were bypassing Iceland, the ship changed course and headed towards Greenland. We are going to a town on the southern end of Greenland called Qaqortoq. Yes, that really is the correct spelling (3 Q’s), and no, I don’t know how to pronounce it.

Towards Thursday afternoon and evening we started seeing icebergs! Yes, an iceberg sunk the Titanic, but the captain assures us that we have a specialist navigator on board who is an expert on navigating around icebergs.
