At Sea


7th April 2012 

The weather is getting warmer, but still quite pleasant. It is 30 C outside today with a 10 knot westerly breeze, and is not too humid. We saw a bit if the US Masters Golf on TV before our morning walk, and caught the last few holes when we returned.

There was a destination briefing for Rabaul this morning, which we decided to watch on the big screen on the pool deck, rather than pack in to the Princess Theatre.

The ship chefs have been busy decorating the ship with Easter decorations, from easter eggs of all sizes, to the odd easter bunny (all chocolate of course) , and bunches off flowers carved from vegetables, all hand made and some quite amazing. There were more than a few of the older passengers enquiring what was going to happen to the display, but nearly cried when they were told it would be destroyed (not given to passengers for consumption).








At noon we were 140nm off Namoluk Atoll, at the southern end of the Yap Group of Micronesian Islands, in 3,740 m of water.

This afternoon Carole went to a movie, after mahjong, whilst I went an advanced digital photography lecture, which was quite good.






It has been a very balmy day with very calm seas. As usual, we had another spectacular sunset.
