At Sea


2nd April 2012 

The weather is more hospitable today, with a reasonable breeze from the north, and relatively flat seas.
Since leaving  Yokohama, we have been on a Southerly course heading down past a chain of Japanese Islands towards Guam. At noon, we were in the Pacific Ocean, with the Japanese Island of Tori Shima 27nm off our starboard bow, in 2,500m of water.

Before lunch, we went to a destination lecture on Guam, our next port stop, and have decided to do our own thing there.

Tomorrow we are pausing in our passage south to do a sail around Iwo Jima.

Before dinner, we were invited to a function hosted by the captain for passengers who had sailed with Princess Cruises before. There were free drinks and finger food, and recognition of the most travelled cruisers. We felt quite inadequate when the award for the couple on this cruise that had travelled the most with Princess Cruises had chalked up a touch over 1500 days of cruising with Princess !!!

Overall it was a pretty relaxing day in comfortable conditions.
