SUNDAY, FEB 14TH--VALENTINES DAY AT SEA

Valentines Day here! I surprised Rebecca this morning as I had bought a VD card before leaving Dallas. So when she opened the laptop computer this morning, there it was. Tonight we have reservations in Prime 7, the specialty steak & seafood restaurant. At 9:15 this morning we attended the interdenominational church service. It was led by our cruise director, Jamie. I would say we had about 50 people attending. Right after that I entered the shuffleboard tournament and was again matched up with my partner, George. George and I won the last one and won again today. Rebecca said I must be getting good. I said, “No, George is good, I am just lucky!” This morning we passed off the northern tip of Australia and had a very nice view of some WWII shore gun emplacements. The ocean here is a beautiful emerald color. It is another fantastic, sunny day and 85F. Rebecca did a load of laundry this morning while I played. After writing this we will go have some lunch before my golf chipping tournament at 2pm. I got way too much sun yesterday when doing my hour walk up on the open deck. Today I used suntan lotion and wore a hat but it was way to windy for the hat. Last night’s show was excellent. Once again we enjoyed the dynamic singing of Peter Cousens from Australia. Last night he did mostly Billy Joel songs. Wish you all could see this beautiful emerald ocean.
