We crossed the equator during the night while the seas were still rough. On the TV news we heard that a freighter had been missing in the Caribbean since Thursday in the hurricane area. A life raft was found and it was deflated and had "human remains" in it. No signals have been received since the first distress one. It sounds like a tragedy.
At 10am King Neptune and his Queen initiated the "pollywogs" among the crew and officers who have not crossed the equator before. We did not watch but we believe it involved a lot of meringue.
At 11am we heard a talk by Sandra Millikin on architecture in the first half of the twentieth century, with a lot of pictures of buildings by Frank Lloyd Wright shown. It was readily understood by us lay people.
At 1pm Malcolm attended a slide show and talk about the Engine Room on the ship given by the Safety and Environment Officer.
At 2pm Lyn learned how to make cold fruit soup. Yummy. Malcolm went to a talk on Mars.
The seas are not as rough and the wind is dying.
At 8pm the song and dance troop put on another spectacular called "That's Dance". The costumes are amazing.
We listened to Adagio for an hour then put our watches back an hour as we went to bed.
