At Sea

May 13 (Friday), 2016

We lost an hour last night so I did not go to bed until 2.  I got up to watch the sunrise around 4 and slept until almost ten.  Met friends and talked until they went to the Mariner medal ceremony.  I met up with them afterwards and we ate together at the Mariner Lunch.

After lunch I spent about an hour sitting on the balcony.  The weather was in the upper 60s and beautiful.  Came in to pack for awhile before my last afternoon ice cream.

The five of us played afternoon trivia and did poorly with 9 out of 15.  Two teams tied at 11.

1.What do crocodiles swallow to dive deeper?
2.What does a spermologist collect?
3.Who currently holds the title of "fastest man alive"?
4.How many hours does it take to hard boil an ostrich egg?
5.What color is yak milk?
6.Which group has the most gold, platinum, and multi-platinum albums?
Tie-breaker - In what year was the Panama Canal opened?

After working on the blog for awhile I did some more packing.  During trivia we became blanketed by fog and can't see anything outside.  Plenty of fog horn toots however.

About an hour after the fog came in, it was gone.  The temperature was much cooler but the sky went back to a beautiful blue.

Met the Sail-Away Gang for evening trivia.  We won with 12 out of 16.  The prize was a bottle of champagne for us to share.

1.What type of oil did da Vinci use in the first high intensity lamp?
2.How many legs do crabs, lobsters and shrimp have?
3.What is the first sign of the zodiac?
4.What Italian entree literally means "cooking pot"?
5.What was the first country to allow women to vote?
6.What book originally weighed 3 lbs, had 1037 pages, and cost $3.15?

Our last dinner in the MDR at table 50.  It was a fun evening and many hugs good-bye.

I met the Sail-Away Gang for karaoke in the Northern Lights.  Three of the group actually got up and sang.  Again more hugs afterwards as we said, "until next time".


Beautiful sunrise
