NORWEGIAN ENCORE: Seattle to San Francisco

Day 4 Saturday, only 2335 steps.

Then on Sunday, caught a taxi to Pier 66, Port of Seattle. The Norwegian Encore.

Normally, check-in takes an hour or two or more. Taxi took us to baggage, where the porter handled it. I had a walking cane, so I noticed that if you looked old with a cane, you can insinuate yourself into the priority lane, which usually has almost no one. The standard line had at least 100 yards of people waiting to proceed. In only a few minutes, we were whisked through the process.

Our first lunch. Mine included roasted tomato soup and a blue-cheese wedge salad, with a Chardonnay and Johnny Walker Black Label. We bought the liquor package that allows unlimited alcoholic beverages..

Walked around. Takes a while to get anywhere, for there are 20 decks, and hallways are really long.

The ship was supposed to depart at 4pm, so we sat at the front of the Observatory Deck to have the best view to sea. Gooney Bird. I think.

I had Dewars White Label on rocks to start. Note the Space Needle above my head.

Ship left late. Had a cognace. Sunset.

A late dinner.

Then in the Atrium, danced to In Sync.

Then to Social for disco.

Lots of walking and dancing on Day 1 of our Norwegian Encore cruise.

Went to sleep at 1:30AM. Clearly, we were at sea, for the bed shook throughout the night. Not too bad, but we obviously were not on land. Woke up at 11:30 for lunch, with beer and Bloody Mary.

We are at-sea today. Too far offshore to see any land. Also a lot of fog. No sun today. Tonight, Cagney Steak House.

A NEXT COVID SUBVARIANT?

By now most know that the Omicron BA.5 subvariant has become the dominant infectious agent, now accounting for more than 80% of all COVID-19 cases. Very few are aware that a new one, BA.4.6, is sneaking in and steadily rising, now accounting for 13% of sequenced samples . However, as BA.4.6 has emerged from BA.4, while there is uncertainty, the scientific sense is that the latest bivalent booster targeting BA.4 and BA.5 should also be effective for this next threat. One concern is that Evusheld--the only monoclonal antibody authorized for COVID prevention in immunocompromised individuals--is not effective against BA.4.6. Here is a reference as to what this means. A series of two injections is involved. Evusheld was developed by British-Swedish company AstraZeneca, and is a t ixagevimab co-packaged with cilgavimab . More recently, Los Angeles County reported on subvariant BA.2.75.2 . which Tony Fauci termed suspicious and troublesome. This strain has also been spreading in

Part 3: OUR NEXT AROUND THE WORLD ODYSSEY

Before I get into my third, and final, part of this cruise series, let me start with some more newsworthy topics. Thursday was my pandemic day for years. Thus, every so often I return to bring you up to date on the latest developments. All these subvariants derived from that Omicron variant, and each quickly became dominant, with slightly different symptoms. One of these will shock you. There has been a significant decline in the lost of taste and smell. From two-thirds of early patients to now only 10-20% show these symptoms. JN.1, now the dominant subvariant, results in mostly mild symptoms. However, once JN.1 infects some, there seem to be longer-lasting symptoms. Clearly, the latest booster helps prevent contracting Covid. A competing subvariant, BA.2.86, also known as Pirola , a month ago made a run, but JN.1 prevailed. No variant in particular, but research has shown that some of you will begin to lose hair for several months. This is caused by stress more than anythi

HONOLULU TO SEATTLE

The story of the day is Hurricane Milton, now a Category 4 at 145 MPH, with a track that has moved further south and the eye projected to make landfall just south of Sarasota. Good news for Tampa, which is 73 miles north. Milton will crash into Florida as a Category 4, and is huge, so a lot of problems can still be expected in Tampa Bay with storm surge. If the eye had crossed into the state just north of Tampa, the damage would have been catastrophic. Milton is a fast-moving storm, currently at 17 MPH, so as bad as the rainfall will be over Florida, again, a blessing. The eye will make landfall around 10PM EDT today, and will move into the Atlantic Ocean north of Palm Bay Thursday morning. My first trip to Seattle was in June of 1962 just after I graduated from Stanford University. Caught a bus. Was called the Century 21 Exposition . Also the Seattle World's Fair. 10 million joined me on a six-month run. My first. These are held every five years, and there have only been
