After a wonderful Gala Dinner the night before, as we caught up with so many old friends and hopefully met some new friends, it was time to board the Silver Whisper for our 116-day Odyssey around the world, visiting 62 ports in 25 countries.
It was a pretty cold sail-out, but I went up to the bridge to give a narration as we sailed past Alcatraz and under the Golden Gate – a great send off for what should be a wonderful cruise!
