Day 37: Sunrise & Lots of Action

Good morning fellow travelers. Last night we had to set our clocks back an hour. I am still in awe of seeing the Southern Cross. Tomorrow we will cross the International Dateline and set our calendars ahead a day - this still doesn’t make complete sense to me - we will skip Monday entirely.

Having missed yesterday’s sunrise, last night I did set a 4:45 AM wake-up call in order to capture the morning sunrise. You will see some nice/okay sunrise pictures from some where in the South Pacific Ocean.

While it is possible for this old man to beat the sun waking up in the morning. The Blue Man Group, Kitchen Staff, and Karmila will always beat me to the morning. You will see some pictures of the Neptune crew making preparations for the day.

Can you find the picture of my favorite food group? If so, tell me which photo it is. Okay Tom U. & Mike P. from my old job at Yale to make some sort of snide comment. I know you will.

This morning I met a couple of early risers. Betty is show here teaching Larry, Lucy, and myself how she uses her iPhone - Let me tell you this is NOT her first cruising rodeo.

Betty creates an album called “2024 World Cruise”, takes photos of the people she meets on the cruise, annotates the image captions with people’s names and other information. I don’t do Apple Air Drop hardly ever. Betty then showed us Air Drop and was able to send her album of people to my photos so, I can then put them into a newly created album on my phone.

If there is a test at the end of this cruise to cite everyone’s name - I will fail. But, I think Betty will get an “A” on that exam.Read more
