Day 31: Sunset Photography Contest

Yesterday the ship did a really fun “Surf & Turf” for everyone on the Pool Deck. It was “All hand’s on Deck” as everyone jumped in to serve us lobster, steak, bake potatoes, veggies, mac & cheese, and a nice desert - Yes, the rum punch & champagne, and wine was flowing like a raging river.

So, while everyone is hanging around the pool being served an excellent meal - the Neptune entertainers as playing music & singing to fill the air - the sun starts to set. It’s a lovely scene. I tell Donna “I am going to take a quick snap.” I make my way to the outside forward part of deck 7 — I see I wasn’t the only one with the idea.

You can see all the Viking Neptune Sunrise/Sunset Photography Competitors jockeying for position in their attempt to get the best sunset photo for this evenings sunset capturing event.

It is rough out on the deck when these competitors are aiming and focusing to get just the right angle. Let me tell you - I am glad I wore a helmet and shoulder pads - I didn’t want to get hurt. These folks are serious!

My best hope was to capture the action as the
fierce battle played out.

The last photo on this post was taken just a few minutes ago. “Land Ho!” I was able to capture a quick picture on the iPhone as we sail our way into Bora Bora … it’s almost 10:00 AM Bora Bora time. We are looking forward to our time on this small paradise. It’s 15 square miles is area. I wish our stay was longer to really be able to fully enjoy it.

Time to put some sunscreen on.Read more
