As we sailed further southwest, the seas were getting calmer, deeper, and the motion on the ship less and less. It was another lazy wakeup, a quick breakfast, and off to our 9am interdenominational reflection and prayer time. Afterwards I attended a flower arranging class where the onboard florist made two arrangements for later display in the Neptune Lounge and Main Dining Room. Dr. Kuznetz gave the first of two talks on Mars and beyond. This talk also went long as Dr. Kuznetz fielded lots of questions.
Lunch in the Lido was once again good and led to a 2 mile walk on Deck 6 followed by part 2 of the Mutinity on the Bounty Series and then a presentation on the history of Hawaii. On the way out of the theatre, a couple stopped me because of the shirt I was wearing which says on the back, 'Borders are only in your mind'. We enjoyed a lengthy conversation about motorcycle riding (they were also motorcyclists). This was actually the second conversation of this type today so the shirt must be communicating.
Dinner in the main dining room was once again wonderful with a couple from Sydney and two widows (one from Vancouver and one from Arizona). During dinner the Captain came on the PA system requesting blood donors axtgere was a critically ill passenger in the infirmary. Later we learned that at least 50 people lined up to donate blood and that the passenger was in stable condition.
At the Showroom at Sea, Jeff McBride presented an amazing magic show (probably the most entertaining we've ever seen). We ended our evening early coming back to the room and prepared our first laundry bag of the trip (free for 4 Star mariners like us) and watched a replay of the Boston/Blue Jays baseball game. Tonight the clocks would turned back yet another hour!
