Today we saw our first flying fish from the Volendam. We also saw a sparrow on the buffet deck and a duck (perhaps a goose) circling the ship.
At 1:30 pm Malcolm went to the navigational talk and learnt that a tonne of bunker oil will drive the Volendam about 5 nautical miles. The second officer told us that we would not see the eclipse of the moon from our location tonight.
Dr Cooper gave a lecture on the development of ecosystems on islands. This was followed by the memory lecturer who included some advice about diet today. He recommends turmeric.
Then we listened to Bob Arno who has inside knowledge of European pickpockets and how they use credit cards to empty your bank account.
Only Linda turned up at dinner tonight as Wayne was ill and Gail had found a friend she wished to sit with. John seems to have written us off.
The show at 8pm was a guitarist, Fabio Rini, who played the Flight of the Bumble Bee in one minute twenty seconds.
