Finally a day at sea. There have not been very many on this segment. Jan took time to call home and got to talk to Zach for a few minutes before her bridge class. Lunch was on the deck after several good lectures. Dr. Mark Elovitz, whom we met on the Mariner when we sailed around South America in 2010, is now on board and gave a very interesting lecture on the Middle East which Fred attended. Jan went to the Horizon Lounge for a demonstration of Indian cooking from one of the chefs on board.
Lunch was on the deck but it was very hot.
We went up to the Observation Lounge for sail away. We were sailing due west and the sun was right in front of the ship. There was a cloud bank in front of the ship but you could see that the Captain was turning just a bit to go to the far side where it was not raining. We decided that dinner would be at La Veranda where they still have the pasta menu we like so much. When we walked out on the pool deck, there was a beautiful full moon just coming up.
Abigail found us the best seat on the back deck outside where we had a wonderful dinner in the moonlight. It was so pretty with the moon shining on the water and the warm breezes from the Indian Ocean around us. Violin, the wine sommelier, had us try a very nice Valpolicella instead of the chianti and we enjoyed it very much. Mirjana, Veronica, and Daniel provided us excellent service and we had a great evening.
