We started the day after a sleep-in by walking several times around the deck at level 7. It was still quite cool and windy and the ship was rolling and pitching a little. The captain said later that the stabilisers were working well. It is much steadier than a container ship would be.
During the day we went to a lecture on forensic dentistry that made reference to the air crash in France and the dental work that would be needed there. The news channel later informed us that no intact remains had been found among the wreckage, so identification there will be a terrible job. The speaker used the Black Saturday fires in Victoria, which she was involved in, to illustrate how it is done.
After lunch in the buffet we listened to the steel drum band Vibz again.
After this we went to a film in the planetarium narrated by Robert Redford. It was called "Passport to the Universe" and included some ideas on how to avoid asteroids hitting the earth. We spent an hour in the Apple computer room where "Mitch" Mitchell raced through the basics of Mac computing.
After dinner, alone at our table for 6 again, we listened to a harpist then had an early night because we could feel a cold coming on. Tomorrow we explore Adelaide.
