Another morning of falling temperatures. Today we’ll only hit 60F on rolling seas, clouds, and afternoon rain. 


At 12 pm Robin and I were at Cabana’s listening to the Captain’s address. He had just mentioned that we’d traveled 1000 miles since Hilo, HI and that we were half-way to Vancouver. 


Just minutes later I saw a pair of Laysan Albatross soar by the ship for a few moments before disappearing. 


Illustration of variant - Laysan Albatross

They were fairly distinctive with long brown wings, white heads and white tails with black terminal bands and small white patches on the underwings.
