Day 2 - Inside Passage, British Columbia, Canada

penguin chick picture HI EVERYBODY!!

First thing every morning on board the Ocean Princess, Phil and Angie would find a newsletter called the Princess Patter, which would tell them about the days' activities. So they decided to do that for you here. Pretty clever huh.

See you later!

Day 2- Inside Passage,
British Columbia, Canada

September 3, 2000

Our first full day on board the Ocean Princess was spent in the Canadian waters of the Inside Passage. The Passage is a long stretch of small inlets and islands between Vancouver and the southern tip of Alaska.


The Ocean Princess was officially put into service on February 14, 2000. They don't call them the Love Boats for nothing.	Ocean Princess just waking up on Sunday morning.	Queen Charlotte Sound, part of what is called the Inside Passage. We spent the entire day at sea.


The first of many spectacular sunrises.		A busy, but quiet scene.


Like peaking under the covers.	A multi-layered backdrop.


Our shadow.	Every now and then, an island just kind of crops up.	See?


	Mists like this would come and go all day.	Time for breakfast.


Angie played and won!	Twin glass elevators amidship between decks 5 and 8.	Behind the glass elevators on deck 5, this live piano played all day long.


		Looking up from the elevator platform on deck 5.


No words necessary!	We dropped off our Canadian pilots here on Triple Island late Sunday night.	The sunsets are just as cool as the sunrises.


We went exploring the ship and found all kinds of cool stuff to see..like the anchor room...	...and lifeboats...	...and liferafts, for those of you in steerage!


This is a touched up shot of our wake.	Basically the same shot, but with an extended exposure.	Not much happening on the Riveria Deck at 11:30 Sunday Night.

Angie outside the Riveria Grill. If we were in warmer climes, this would be open and the pools would be occupied, even this late at night.
