Neighbours

by Regine, onboard the Arctic Sunrise

In the morning, we met the Esperanza! She was only one mile beside, but we couldn’t see her... the fog was still close around the ship.

Later, when the visibility was getting better, we could see her, some miles in front. But the most exciting news this morning was: icebergs! They where seen already on the radar before they appeared through the fog. The white ice with a little shine of blue was drifting along and disappeared again in the fog. Later, the wind came up again and took the rainy and misty weather away! Now we are again on a polar-blue ocean, followed by some white majestic albatross.

Today is Saturday, so the ship was cleaned before lunch and we looked forward to our first weekend on sea.

The days are becoming longer and today we have a good chance for a beautiful sunset. But with the again upcoming wind, the waves also start to become higher, so the ship is again rolling more, but not as bad as before!
