Hot and muggy weather again today. We are sailing parallel to the Ivory Coast of Africa.
After breakfast we attended the 9:30 lecture with Guest Lecture Dr. Tony Waltham: “ Volcanoes that Collapse."
See how the explosive varieties of andesitic volcanoes produce violent eruptions of pyroclastic flows.
We followed this up with Guest Lecture with Mr. Russell Lee: "The Sweet Story of Rum."
Toast the drink that began as industrial waste and ultimately drove the development of the New World.
Tony and Russell have a friendly banter going on regarding Tony’s lectures being scientific and Russell’s being pure rubbish. It’s fun to listen to them poke fun at each other.
At 2:30 we tried our hand at Travel Trivia with Resident Historian Dr.
Bryan Babcock
