One more sea day before Tahiti...

Quote of the day: “The gym doesn’t open until 7am, but the Captain had been in there and was just leaving about 10 minutes before 7am. I guess when you’re the Captain you can do whatever you want.”


The sun is rising later and setting earlier as we head further south. BJ says that’s just as well as he needs his beauty sleep. Conversations are now turning to what life will be like once we leave this floating hotel. Most people agree that they want to take the staff home with them…

Temperatures remain in the mid-20’s, but the wind blows more now. Even so, I’m finding the conditions quite pleasant. Sitting out on my favorite deck does leave you covered in sea spray though, giving you the “salty lips” sensation. My trusty old crossword book, my other constant companion in addition to BJ, and my protector against unwanted conservationists, is now starting to look a little ragged. Major achievement for the day was to finally get one crossword completed without corrections. It’s only taken me 74 attempts! Sometimes I really do wish I could spell…
