A day at sea on our way to St Matthew Island, a part of the former land bridge between Russia and Alaska.

21.8. at 7:30: Still very low clouds and high winds. Let's what's going on today. Definitely no excursion but a few lectures.

First lecture - 9:00 : Disembarkation Procedure at Nome ( the final destination of the trip ).
A very precise procedure which is not surprising with roughly 300 persons disembarking and Nome Airport very small airport. The day before at 22:00 luggage has to be in front of ones cabin door.
Almost a military operation !

Early afternoon: A Q & A hosted by the captain, technical officer, hotel manager etc.

We even have the chance to visit the bridge which for understandable reason is only possible in small groups and is spread over two days.
My turn: tomorrow

Else its a day at sea, with other words relaxing. Wind has died down and makes everything smoother.

Before going to bed I fulfilled my duty to report my arrival on Wednesday into Canada through the official "ArriveCan" app
And received almost instantaneously the necessary QR which one needs in Vancouver to scan ones arrival.
