July 26, 2025 – At Sea – Labrador Sea – Foggy, Drizzly – 44 F

July 26, 2025 – At Sea – Labrador Sea 

Long night of sway and shake.

Literally you couldn’t see 100 feet.  For some reason, the ship was not sounding the fog horn (maybe there weren’t any other ships out here or maybe the ship’s radar confirmed that we were alone out here). 

Breakfast in the Windows Cafe is working out great – Cottage Cheese and Sour Cream are waiting for me at the fruit and compote area (my name – misspelled – and Stateroom number are on the containers).

In the new schedule, I am on at 1:00 PM with “Forensic Detectives: Identifying the Famous and Infamous”.  I got to the Cabaret Lounge at 12:40 PM and Bingo with Bernardo was in progress. They must have started late because they didn’t finish until about 1:15 PM.  I set up very quickly and got rolling.  The turnout was very good – a few empty seats here and there and more attendees than my first talk (let's say 280).  

I finished about 1:52 PM and had to explain to Jannie, who thought I ran long, that Bingo ran long.  I talked to people in the hall outside the theater. 

For lunch, I had an Impossible Burger from the Patio.  Except for the fact that they put guacamole and red cabbage on the burger (which I scrape off), the burger was prepared perfectly (perhaps the best I’ve had on an Azamara ship).  They are usually overcooked but this one was delicious. The Onion Rings, not so much but overall a nice lunch.

After an afternoon of watching fog and water in the Living Room (Bernardo and Stephanie run the Trivia and I can’t understand either of them), we had dinner in the Discoveries Restaurant. I ordered a special meal for us – Pasta Pesto.  What we got was something closer to Pasta Aglio a Olio – no pesto at all. The waiter confirmed that as well.  It was pretty good, whatever it was.

We are not going to the show tonight, which features Magician Fred Becker – magic is not our thing.

We caught Felicia doing her Country set.  Covering Billy Joel was more her style.  We went to the Living Room for a few minutes of VIBZ and their soft rock music – very soothing.  An enjoying a mojito hit the spot.

We are scheduled to get into our next port, Nuuk, around 8 PM.  As the evening went on, the fog began to lift and we could see land on both sides of the ship.  

The Captain suggested we go outside and watch the sail in.  The sail in was indeed amazing with the city nestled at what looked to be the foothills of several mountains.  

One mountain, in particular had an odd shape.  I went outside to get a different perspective on the sail in.

We didn’t wait until the ship actually docked, which will take a while.

Back to the room for some peace and quiet.
