Tuesday, 7 February 2023 -
Great dinner and sound sleep in our ship suite. We awoke to a full breakfast as the sun struggled to get
through. We pulled up anchor and moved while we ate.
Beautiful scenes as we moved during
breakfast.
Every now and then the sun tried to break through - but clouds hung over us.
Fishing boat among the islands.
There were several Black Kites swirling around the water - maybe attracted by fishing boats.
Fishing boat in black and white.
A Black Kite hunting over the bay.
Again a small patch of sunlight in the clouds over the bay.
All morning we stayed in the same position, so people could take kayaks out and paddle around.
Lots of
time to catch fishing boats on the water.
The fishing boats were very colorful up close.
There were several of these formations where it looked like they were old volcanos surrounded now in water.
A floating store/gas station on the water.
A selfie in Hạ Long Bay.
We began moving back to the dock - again passing the tall islands of limestone.
A unique and beautiful sight even in the overcast sky.
Seems like the rocks should drop into the water.
Virginia Ann and Cal while sailing on Hạ Long Bay.
It was a great adventure on the boat -
wonderful cabin, great food, and nice people. We just wished they would have sailed more.
