Caves and Storms in Molde
Viking Cruises’ Viking Sky pulled into Molde, Norway on a decidedly stormy Tuesday morning. Little whitecaps were being kicked up on the slate-grey sea as we spun around in the harbour, made all the darker thanks to a low and brooding cloud ceiling. Rain once again […]

Today is the fourth day of Outer Shores Expeditions’ Passing Cloud sailing to the Great Bear Rainforest. It’s also the fourth day of the unrelenting rainfall that’s followed us thus far.
The rain seems to have doubled its efforts today. It’s absolutely pouring out. […]

When I returned to my stateroom last night aboard Viking Cruises’ Viking Sky, the most incredible sunset was illuminating our port side. It wasn’t noteworthy for its colours; rather, it was notable for its brilliant rays of amber light and its hugely contrasting nature.

Coffee and tea were available in the warmth […]

Tuesday, May 30, 2017
With Outer Shores Expeditions’ Passing Cloud docked in Shearwater, British Columbia this morning, I went ashore in search of a latte and a newspaper.
I found the latte, but the newspaper was a ridiculous thought. First of all, even if there were newspapers […]

Monday, May 29, 2017
There is a crow flying above me as I write this, perched upon the rigging of Outer Shores Expeditions’ Passing Cloud.
It’s actually kind of unnerving – the crow – which is just staring at me with its black, beady little […]
