Wednesday - 28 March 2012 – At Sea – Enroute to Sydney,
Australia
Woke
up about 6:30 am – practiced Yoga in the cabin before meeting the group for
breakfast at 8:00 am. We turned our
clocks ahead last night so lots of passengers are getting up late.
Bridge
at 10:00am – today we are supposed to play using what we have learned. Patte, Liddell and I are lucky enough to get
Jean-Paul (our instructor) as our fourth.
We
enjoy the hour particularly since Jean-Paul analyzes each hand as we play it.
Patte
and I head to the pool deck to view the boat
building competition. There are eight entries – all very creative. The boats must float in the pool with and
without cargo. Cargo consists of six cans of soda. Nolan is the announcer and the judges are 3
of Regatta’s officers and Captain John Foley – the lecturer. There is a tie for first place so Nolan asks
for spectator applause to break the
tie. The prize is a bottle of champagne
– and of course the prestige.
After
lunch at the Waves Grill – I resume packing since we must put our luggage outside our staterooms by
10:30 this evening.
At
2:00 pm Captain John Foley continues his talk on Mutiny on The Bounty – giving
details of what happened to the
mutineers – where they settled and how long they lived.
Our
last Trivia at 3:00 pm – we don’t win anything.
Now the time has come to turn in our “Big O” points for hats, tote bags, key
chains, bookmarks, etc. I have enough
for a Visor.
After
a lovely last dinner in the Grand Dining
Room – we finish packing -- reuniting for our last Brain Teasers at 8:45pm.
The Cape Codders come in third – no “Big O” points – just the prestige.
Off
to bed – we have an early start in the morning if we want to be on deck as
Regatta pulls into Sydney Harbor.
Thanks
for Reading!
Pat
