It's now 10.30pm and we are at sea. The ship is rolling slightly but I love being gently rocked to sleep. It has been a busy evening meeting the crew and learning how the ship operates as well as enjoying dinner. I had a roasted Cauliflower steak with fried Chickpeas prepared like a Bhaji with a hint of curry. I have been wanting to try cauliflower steaks for some time. The range and quality of the food is amazing and that was just for today, it will all change for tomorrow.
The photos are of my Suite which is one of the best appointed I have ever experienced and all with the support of my Butler – Royston from Mumbai. I hope I can remember where I have stowed everything when I come to disembark.
Tomorrow is a day at sea with lots of briefings on biosecurity, Zodiac safety and I was pleased to learn safety around Polar Bears so it seems likely that we will see them and fulfil my ambition and dream to sea live Polar Bears!
The expedition team will be on the outer decks most of the day wildlife spotting. They have already, earlier this evening, spotted a pair of Orcas, but sadly I was at dinner and have not set up my cameras, but they will be at the ready tomorrow.
