This a scheduled day at sea, not a bonus one. The weather a great improvement, just a few
clouds, lots of sun and light winds, lovely.
Another nice easy day, bit of trivia then morning coffee with
a bit of culture, the Elegance Duo (violinists) were playing classical music
with a few popular standards in between.
Most of the rest of the day spent on our balcony in the sun
watching out for whales. A very popular
pastime, a couple of whales spouts seen during this morning's trivia halted
proceedings while everyone crowded round the windows for a glimpse, so many one
side I thought capsize a clear possibility.
Not many things can halt the trivia it's so popular.
Anyway quite a few sightings were made from our balcony,
nothing near enough for identification of individual species. And the weather stayed really nice all day. And seabirds played around the ship to keep
us entertained between whales.
Spot the whale!
Today's dress code formal, the Captain's welcome and
champagne waterfall tonight. So all
togged up made our way to the Atrium for a couple of glasses of free champers
and watch the waterfall.
The Captain reeled off all sorts of statistics about our
voyage most of which we couldn't remember but we will sail about 4337 miles
this voyage and the 2989 passengers are made up of 23 nationalities, 1557 from
the United States, 841 from Great Britain and the bulk of the rest from Canada
and Australia. How the lone Belgian and
the lone Netherlander came to be here alone puzzles. We skipped the main dining room and had
dinner in the buffet.
