As you can see by the first two pictures, the fjord is as smooth as glass this morning. The sun is shining brightly, and there is no wind. The high today is expected to be around 60 degrees. Yesterday was even warmer, but there was a light breeze of about 15 mph (yes, they call that a light breeze here.)
And reflecting on Ahab's words, all the water in the fjord does us no good right now because apparently the construction workers near our building hit a water main last night and our apartment buildings are currently without running water. Not a good thing when Kimber has to take her shower before work and we have to get Sidney ready for school. In the spirit of recycling, though, Kimber is going to use water from her hot water bottle for getting the hair fixed and teeth brushed and pre-moistened washcloths for getting cleaned up.
Other activity involving water here includes more work being done at the ship, as you can see. They brought in another ship and unloaded some stuff two days ago. While it was there, a helicopter came in and did some low-level flying around the ships for observation. The other ship left after a while, but there was another ship that came in last night and tied up alongside the big one for some work.
Finally, we have a swan living somewhere between our marina and Vaulen Beach (the area pictured in the photos on top.) We see him (or her) swim in and out between the two area quite a bit, usually coming to our marina in the evening for a while before returning to the island. We will try to find out more info on the swan and include some pictures.
