Crystal Serenity Day 11 - Sea Day

8/23/2024

Let's talk fishing. Well, let's talk salmon fishing.  We learned why all of those fishing boats were near us yesterday in Astoria, Oregon. The salmon return here annually and there are lots of them.  In fact, looking down at the Columbia River from our verandah you could see the color from all of the salmon.  So now we know.

We departed Astoria for San Francisco at 6:00 PM.  As we departed and heard What A Wonderful World sung by Louis Armstrong we viewed the surrounding area. Right where we docked is a bridge that reminded of the San Mateo Bridge which we would cross to get to and from the San Francisco airport when we lived in the Bay Area. The bridge has a different look but there is the deck that is close to the water and decking all above the water.   The playing of What A Wonderful World reminds us of each and every voyage we have taken with Crystal.

We enjoyed dinner in our room last evening with one guest. Just think, we could have had the freshest of salmon from the river. LOL.  

Butler Rao organized everything for us including canapés, drink and the meal.  We ordered from Waterside and from Umi Uma.

Despite some choppy seas and going in and out of rain showers, we are enjoying a fabulous sea day as we sail to our final port of call.

Lots on the program today with 47 enrichment programs offered during the day and afternoon.  Lectures included a talk about San Francisco , a talk about leadership, and a presentation by John Wesley from A&K about the wonderful world of A&K.  An array of classes were offered including bridge, fitness, golf, computer, art, and health.  Pretty much something for everyone and let's not forget there is dining.  LOL.

Cheers,

​Anne Marie & Keith

Looks like you had a relaxing but wonderful cruise.
So sorry to hear the news about Slavonic. I think I first met him when he was a waiter many cruises ago.
Looking forward to your next dispatch on your future cruises.
Save journeys!
