On the South China Sea

Again we see occasional flotsam around the ship and do not have a clue where it is coming from.

Slept well until about 4:30 and off and on after that. Meds get me going after a while and clearing out my lungs

Magellan’s Voyage around the world

This was the lecture today, the first of ten to be done by this pilot historian. It fits well with the round the world theme and the speaker is engaging and gives you pearls you have not heard before.

Next was trivia with yet a different group of folks all nice and fun to work with.

Lunch

We met some new people who got on yesterday. Around 200+ new passingers came on yesterday for various lengths of this voyage: some to Singapore and many more to Dubai.

Re arranging

Ed and I rearranged some of the things in the cabin and found some stuff we have been looking for. I also unearthed my St. Paddy’s Day T-shirt to get some use out of it and bring a bright light to people.

Trivia

Can you believe we won? First they offered us a bottle of cheap champagne and I reminded her that we had some non drinkers. So she brought decks of cards: one for each couple. I think they are running low on “prizes” and for many events none are being given which isn’t the way it has been before.

Formal night

We got gussied up and met our new waiter, a young man from Goa India named Francis. He seems very sweet and was telling us what to do in Cochin and Mumbai. We’ll pick his brain more as we get closer.

Tonight’s entertainment

An “instrumentalist”. This show will start late at 8 pm and Ed is already dozing off in his tux so I don’t have much hope for either of us going. We have an early time for our tour at Sanya, Hainan Island, China, tomorrow.
