On Board Columbia
When we awakened today, it was pouring rain. The cloud bank was low, virtually obscuring the mountain ranges on either side of us. This huge boat threaded its way through the water, traveling North. At times, the land was 200 yards or less on either side of us. As we traveled past Bella Bella and Chatfield Island (Hello, John and Natalie), we then went through long 
narrows where water was cascading over the rocks in multiple places with beautiful waterfalls. It looked as if this was runoff from the snow-covered mountain peaks which were occasionally visible for a few moments through the clouds.

Each Saturday night, the Columbia has an all-you-can-eat buffet. It is $13.50 for us seniors. The food was excellent. The ship’s dining room had panoramic windows which afforded us an incredible view of the passing scenery. We again turned in early, wishing to catch up on her sleep and get our batteries fully charged for the riding days ahead.
