Sea Day - Leaving the Amazon

Saturday March10, 2012.  Today we are leaving the Amazon heading north and toward the end of this wonderful cruise.  We go up to the pool and swam for about one hour.  As long as we are in the Amazon, the water is quite calm.  Breakfast in La Veranda and the to Coffee Connection while the cabin was being cleaned.

Needlepoint up in the Observation Lounge with the ladies.  Then I attended the two lectures.  The first one was by Lt. Col. Rothschild on "The Way Forward".  Second was Terry Breen on "Devil's Island: Hell on Earth".  Both very interesting.

Lunch in La Veranda.  Today was the Officer's BBQ.  Several different officers were cooking out by the pool.  Cooking some of their dishes from home.  Then back to the cabin for rest and read.  The afternoon was the same with needlepoint, tea and trivia only today our team won and there were only three of us playing.  After I returned to the cabin we decided to take another swim.  This time the water was rough and lots of waves which makes for a better workout.  We are back in the Atlantic.

Dressed for dinner in Compass Rose.  We had cocktails with MIckey and Dick.  But they were attending a birthday dinner in Prime 7.  We skipped the early show because of our swimming.  Back to the cabin to read and lights out.
