Just back from 4 nights on the Navigator, and Capt. James has returned. Said he came back a few cruises ago.

Hi All. Back from two weeks in Alaska on the Ovation OTS, and I am really far behind! Looks like I am have about 61 pages to catch up on, but I will. I truly hope that everyone is well and nothing catastrophic has happened. Alaska was magnificent, as usual. I look forward to catching up. Stay healthy. Pat

Thanks for letting me know who the Captain is on the Ovation. Just got off of two weeks on board and never once saw him out and about. Other than the Hotel Director, very low officer visibility on this ship.

@suzyluvs2cruise Hi Sue! Checking in to see how you and Jim are doing? Hope all is still going well, Pat -
One of my favorite places in Skagway. 🍺 I hope you had a 'spruce tip' ale. I have one every time I am there, and so far, I haven't had scurvy 😂 For those that don't know, this is from their website: Spruce beer is a well known part of Alaska’s maritime history. When Captain James Cook made his first voyage into the Pacific during 1784, two sailors were employed as full-time spruce beer brewers. Cook and his men drank the beer to prevent scurvy, which is a disease caused by Vitamin C deficiency. You see, spruce needles are capable of producing a tea with 50mg of Vitamin C per 100 grams. At some point, someone must have asked, “If we can brew spruce tea, why not brew spruce beer?” That person is a hero.

I'm sure I will. Yes, I've been to Alaska before and it is one of my favorite itineraries for the exact reason your photos are showing. The photos are stunning, but it is even better in real time. And the wildlife! I am so happy to hear you are enjoying yourself! I'm having a hard time getting motivated to pack for Alaska, as it was 91 here yesterday, and I find it difficult to be packing sweaters and long johns! 😱😂

I am so far behind on these boards, but I'm not complaining. Just got off of eleven days on the Navigator OTS and home for a week. Then, flying to Seattle to board the Ovation OTS for two weeks in Alaska. @Ozark_Kid Sorry I will miss you by a week. Retirement is the best job I've ever had!! Be well...stay healthy. Pat
