At about 10 last night I became aware that there was a bit of blue sky amongst the clouds. Maybe tonight is a possibility for midnight sun?
But as the sky cleared, there was a persistent cloud with sea fog in the horizon. Hmm. How will that work.
Too much metal on the ship to get a sensible compass reading, but the sun must be moving towards north.
So I took a comparative 11:30 photo (see the Sun at Midnight blog a couple of days ago). I’m now at 70 deg 7min. (Compared with 68 and a bit.)
By midnight the sun has dipped below the cloud. The rays are now beaming up (compared with beaming down on Saturday). And at that point I reckoned that was it.
Down to my cabin. Into my night attire. But wait! There is sin shining at my porthole. On with jacket. Up to deck. 1:05am. Complete with reflections on the water.
And as I subsequently lay in bed, it was like the sun coming in the window first thing in the morning. (hadn’t realised how dirty the porthole window is!)
