This is a completely new adventure for us - we're quickly learning that expedition cruising is as the name suggests exploratory. No fixed schedules, everything is open to change. Our first day onboard began when our cabin was filled with bird sounds at 7:15 am. We had no idea what was going on until Colin, our expedition leader, wished us good morning and explained the plans for the first few hours of the day. Today we're in Cuming Inlet and get to experience our first steps on shore and a glacier walk. Lot's of mandatory safety briefings including how to go ashore in the zodiacs and how to use the ready room and gear. Yesterday we checked to make sure the muck boots provided fit and our waterproof pants are mandatory for all zodiac trips. In the afternoon we did a zodiac cruise and some wildlife spotting from the deck. Muskox and Walrus were the animals of the day. Our animal shots will be in the final post we make in a couple weeks - when we get the pictures from the folks with the really long lenses! Great 71st Birthday for Adrian and an awesome start to our high arctic adventure.
