Sea Day – January 23

Today we continued to follow a Southwesterly course through the Pacific Ocean towards Bora Bora.

So far the seas are still not calm, but much better than yesterday.

Bingo was less attended than yesterday. Again, there were about 12 of us. I won again. This time $40. So far I have won a total of $190. Whoo Hoo!

We shirked the dining room again to have the Pub Lunch at the Steakhouse. Bangers and mash and Steak & Kidney Pie. Last time we had fish & chips and shrimp & chips. Sat with a very interesting couple from Vancouver. One interesting thing they said was that since we were overnighting in Sydney they could spend the night with their son that lives there. I said I didn’t think it overnighted, it just spends the day and leaves in the early evening. We are leaving the ship for 4 nights and meeting the ship Cairns which is the next stop in Australia, so it doesn’t matter to us. I did notice they adjusted the schedule to have an extra hour in port, but hadn’t seen that it now was an overnight in Sydney. Anyway, I hope she gets the correct info so she doesn’t miss the ship.

We still have 2 empty seats at our dinner table. So, we currently have an interesting table of 6. I forgot to mention that when we met our new table mates last night during the introductions they knew who we were from my blog. Odd to have someone you don’t know ask how your leg is doing. Too funny. People do read my blog…..

The show tonight was a Trumpeter / Vocalist Dan Delgado. I enjoyed him a lot. Another example of the diverse types of talent they bring on for a world cruise.

They had the first game show of this segment, the Yes or No Game. It’s fun to watch. Not easy to carry on a conversation for 3 minutes without answering with a “yes” or “no” in the answer.

Tomorrow we should be out of the worst of the ocean swells. We’ve been fine, but quite a few of our fellow passengers have not had an easy time of it.
