Sunday, October 5

Back at sea with distinctly gray weather outside. I’m told it’s the remnants of a typhoon from down south. Hopefully it will be gone by the time we reach China the day after tomorrow.

Usual sea day schedule included Team Trivia at noon and Watercolors at 1:00 p.m. Then I put the photos from Japan in order and chose the ones to add to the blog account and uploaded te whole works.

Tonight is the Captain’s Cocktail Party for the 1,100 of us on board who have sailed with Holland America before. Given that the capacity of the ship is around 1,300 and there are a fair number of single cabin occupants, that doesn’t leave much room for first-timers! Since I skipped lunch, I’m getting a bit peckish so should go and get into the glad rags and A-rocks.
