FRIDAY, APR 10TH--AT SEA

Mostly sunny and 78F here in Indian Ocean at 3pm. I have been on internet most of day so far but will go to gym after writing this. Rebecca is doing her nails now as we will dine with Captain Dag tonight. I noticed this ship slowed down around 2pm. The Captain has the bridge open this afternoon for visits so I went up to see what was going on. The second officer said they had the port (left) azipod shutdown for routine maintenance so only running on one pod. I just hope it is “routine” maintenance as I saw the ETA (estimated time of arrival) at Richard’s Bay is 5:45pm Sunday instead of the scheduled 7am. Will find out for sure at table tonight. The new show that the ship’s singers and dancers did last night was the best yet of the production shows. They choreographed the whole show and was amazing!! These young folks are so very talented. Tonight Brandi Chapman (Branson entertainer) will do here second show and we will definitely be there. Hope the Captain eats fast. Tomorrow I will give you our safari itinerary. There will be no new pictures until the 15th or 16th probably.
