New Itinerary.

Well, the cat is finally out of the bag so to speak. We are not going through the Red Sea and into the Suez Canal as originally planned. Instead we will go around the Horn of Africa. The activities in the new ports look great for those of us interested in wildlife. Others may choose to fly home and receive appropriate compensation.

Meanwhile we continue to sail through the Coral Sea toward Thursday Island and Torres Strait. Because the Coral Sea is full of coral reefs (hence the name) we have a reef pilot who has extensive knowledge of the Great Barrier Reef system on board. We are also seeing more dolphins, turtles and gulls. Unfortunately I have not been quick enough to catch them on film.もっと詳しく
