Thursday 22 March 2012 – At Sea – Enroute to Cairns, Australia

Very rough seas when I wake up at 4:30 am – read for awhile before falling back to sleep until 6:30 am.  Breakfast at 8:00 am – seas are expected to be rough all day.

Bridge at 10:00 am – continues to befuddle us but we keep coming back.  Today Patte and I play with Liddel and Gerry (my Queens Harbour neighbor) – I think Gordon has given up.

Lunch again in the Grand Dining Room – so much quieter than the Terrace Café on sea days – in fact the dining room is practically empty.

Nice afternoon of reading  --- when about  3:00 pm Phil suggests we check the laundry room and lo and behold there are two washers available – we rush down and claim them.   That laundry room is such a vicious place  -- we are reeling in our good fortune to find those empty washers.   Phil offers to stay on laundry duty while I represent both of us at Trivia.

Hillary is back to Trivia – she had a flu for a day or two – and interestingly enough George reported that people in cabins around them were sick as well.   Our score is good today but not good enough to place – we are back in our slump.

An invitation for Phil and I to dine with the Purser on Saturday evening arrives today – Beth and Lynn receive the same --  should be interesting. 

Dinner this evening in the Polo Grill at 7:30 pm – we have the “Captain’s” table and a wonderful meal. 

No show tonight – we are all exhausted from another sea day – and tomorrow we arrive in Cairns  ---  looking forward to getting off the ship.

Thanks for Readng!
