Today is Saturday and it is foggy. The horn started about 3am and is continuing all morning. We were up early and had a cup of tea at the grill until the La Veranda opened at 7:30. Not many people up yet. People do sleep in on sea days.
Needlepoint is at 9am. All during our gathering, the horn blew and the rains poured. I attended the lecture which was on the glaciers of Chile. Very interesting. We have been to this area before but because we were on a larger ship, we were not able to see the glaciers. We will this trip.
We went to the Compass Rose for lunch and John and Norma were just starting so we all sat together. They are from Jacksonville and have a condo in Ponte Vedra. He was associated with SteinMart and moved here from Birmingham. We had a great conversation and good lunch too.
After a nice lunch, the waters became more choppy and there was a lot of movement on the ship so the pool was emptied so no swimming.
We went to the show before dinner. It was Ray, the cruise director. He is a wonderful entertainer. Ray has performed for the Queen of England and did the act he did for her. Ray has been working on cruise ships since forever. He is a puppet master and ventriloquist plus a great singer. Full of energy and not a young man by any stretch. He has retired several times but Regent has convinced him to come back again and again. We had dinner with Bert and Ernie, our Virtuoso hos\ts, and Tony and Gloria from Australia. Dinner was good but Tony and Gloria are complainers. Do not care to be around those kind of people.
Before dinner we were having a club soda in the lounge waiting for Bert and Ernie, when a couple from Boston came and sat with us. They were waiting for the Engineer. He arrived and we spoke with him for a few minutes and then they went into dinner. He promised to meet up with us in the future.
Back to the cabin and bed. Tomorrow in Puerto Mont, Chile.
