A look at the weather, the ship schedule, and a note about short winter days

The weather is about to do its thing again: wind, rain and elevated seas. Ships are coming and going as usual, so far.

And for those feeling down about our short days, consider Utqiagvic (or Barrow), Alaska, which saw its last sunset of the year earlier this week. They'll live in darkness for 64 days until the sun returns in January.
