Day 49 - Downunder 2016 - Mon - 11/14/16 - At Sea

The word of the day was 'late' which meant that we forgot to advance our clock by 1/2 hour to the Sydney/Melbourne time. So we ended up skipping breakfast in order to make the second to the last devotional time. Afterwards we had a small breakfast before attending the Mariner's award ceremony and luncheon.  

The Seattle Seahawks were on Sunday night football, so we watched it Monday starting at 12:30pm up in the Crow's Nest. It was an exciting game to watch. Afterwards I resumed reading 'Lucretia's Batavia Diary' which is a fictional diary of a prominent female passenger based upon the ill-fated final voyage of the Batavia. While reading, I noted a strange structure off the starboard side of the ship, so I went back to the room for my zoom lense camera. It was an oil derrick!

We had a final Gala night and enjoyed a jumbo shrimp cocktail along with steak and lobster. Annie Gong and her magic accordion returned with a new show after entertaining us when sailing out of Hawaii. Our evening ended by watching the movie 'Legend of Tarzan'.

Tomorrow is Tasmania.

While the destination is important, remember to savor the journey.
