Saturday at Sea

We had a relaxing day at sea. The weather was beautiful and the seas were calm.
We started out with another lecture in the Beyond the Podium series, by Rod Jury. Today he spoke about Cape Horn. Then we scurried across to the dining room for the grand brunch buffet. There was such quantity and variety that it was difficult to decide what to eat. But we did our best.
Later I went to another watercolor class and Ralph and Jim and Irunu went to a lecture on whales. We had an informal lunch in the grill area, then rested and read the afternoon away. (Ralph did go up on deck to walk – I read).
Before dinner Ralph and I sat out on the aft deck with some wine and sushi. The sunset was perfect, leaving behind a pink sky to promise good weather tomorrow. Then all of a sudden we were socked in by fog, with no visibility, and the ship was sounding its fog horn. Later, at night, the skies cleared up again to permit star gazing. Which all goes to show that what we have been told is true. They say that in these parts you can experience all four seasons in one day – and the only thing certain about the weather is that it is unpredictable.
A nice dinner, a musical recap of the ´70s for our after dinner show, and to bed. Tomorrow, Cape Horn.
