Day 15 - Rocking rolling gliding all along the Oregon coast

 24 years ago we were on the old Holland America Ryndam.  It was so rough we couldn't even stand in our room.  We had the closest room to the bow and I've always booked mid-ship, mid-aft and aft ever since.

Someone on Facebook said we would be late.  They were reading Cruise Mapper and the arrival time is 1300 on Tuesday.  However, that site uses UTC time which is Greenwich Mean Time.  I chatted with Guest Services and they said we will dock on time.
