• Seventeenth Sea Day

    January 19, 2024, North Pacific Ocean ⋅ 🌬 28 °C

    Bob and I began this morning attending Bible Study. This is the mixed group that watches the video classes that are presented to the men's group. This morning we heard Dr. Strauss discuss how idioms, metaphors and figures of speech are handled by Bible translators. I found the videos to be very informative and am looking forward to attending more of these studies.
    After Bible Study, we met with a Karen, who attends the women's Bible Study. She was on last year's World Cruise and had fantastic information regarding excursions. We are specifically interested in an overland tour that Karen and her husband are doing from Sri Lanka.
    At lunch Bob, Dale, Jenni and I reviewed our excursions and made plans to change some excursions. We also decided to reach out to Karen's travel agent to inquire about availability of space on the overland excursion.
    The four of us then headed to our stateroom as Dale and Jenni had not seen it.
    After a brief visit, I headed to the salon for a haircut. I am happy to report that I received a fantastic haircut.
    I emailed Karen Bright's travel agent and immediately received a response. We are still waiting to see if there is availability.
    At dinner, we found Dale and Jenni on the aft terrace under dark, ominous skies. It started raining as we finished dinner. Jenni left to email Karen's travel agent. Dale, Bob and I stayes until the skies opened up. I ended up looking like a drowned rat. Bob and Dale remained dry as they were sheltered.
    Sea report: We have rough seas!!! We are really rocking and rolling!
