It finally happened today. For every cruise we have taken, one of my trip goals is to spot flying fish. This afternoon as I began my afternoon walk, I spotted the first school of them as they left the water to escape the wake of the ship. As we continued to walk we spotted more from time to time. One of our cruise mates hadn't seen them yet, so we took him to a likely spot and showed him how to spot them. Lo and behold it worked! We spotted quite a few and enjoyed some nice conversation as well.
Rather than recount the rest of the day which was much like the previous two sea days, let's just say the Mars lecture in the morning which was preceded by the Philipinnean crew show (first time I've seen it presented during the daytime) and the afternoon lecture (quite a tragic story) about the children of King Kamahamaha were quite good.
Our MDR dinner was quite nice with a nautical theme and we were joined by a couple from New Orleans we had cruised with 2 years ago on the Prinsendam plus a couple from Adelaide. We received some nice tips from the Australian couple about sightseeing Australia. We think we are closer to a plan for the 10 days in Australia after the cruise. It should be interesting.
The evening's entertainment was a very good ventriloquist, Jeff McBride. The outside entertainment this far have been top notch.
Another thing we do on cruises is catch up on movies we either have not seen or wish to see. Tonight after the ventriloquist, we watched 'Amelia' about Amelia Earhart, and really liked it.
Tomorrow will be the last sea day for a few days.
