Day 29–Qaqortoq, Greenland–almost

Surprised again to wake up to perfectly sunny skies. We were anchored already off of Qaqortoq.

View from the balcony – day 29. The village of Qaqortoq

Wanna buy some fish?

Two hours after getting up, we finally mosied down to the theater where they were handing out tender tickets. The idea is instead of standing in line, you wait in the comfort of the theater. So we waited. And waited. Annnnnnd waited. After 50 minutes, it was now 2.5 hours from the last tender, and we said screw it. Just as they called our number. We figured it’d be 15 minutes to get there, and a nightmare getting back.

At some point I heard on the radio there were 620 passengers out, and 110 crew, and later that there was a queue to get back. After Steve and April got back they said there was a 40 minute long line just for the souvenir store. So while I was disappointed to not set foot on Greenland, it was for the best we stayed put.

So we sat out on the balcony and saw some whales out fishing. A nice bonus.

I watched the last tender come in and get lifted. I noticed this before but finally got a picture of it. Where the heck do you fit the other 60 people?

We sailed away to lots more icebergs and scenery.

The seas got rough again in the evening and after a Frankie Vallie and the 4 Seasons tribute, I started feeling punky again. So much for gaining a sea stomach. Fell asleep to yet another movie. Someday I’ll see a whole one.

Sea day tomorrow before St. Anthony, Newfoundland on Tuesday. Should be another quiet, lazy day. I’m actually looking forward to next Sunday off at home and getting caught up with everything.
