SATURDAY, APR 17TH--ATLANTIC OCEAN

It was a sunny but cool day cruising here off the west coast of Africa. We are now in the Atlantic Ocean about 30 miles off the coast of Namibia and will be arriving at Walvis Bay, Namibia, at noon tomorrow. The high temperature was 60F but we are having a pretty smooth ride today. I never made it out of the suite until 4pm today when I went to the gym for an hour. This morning I wrote yesterday’s blog post and then uploaded my Cape Town photos. After some turkey stir fry from room service for lunch I continued working on internet checking my banking, investments, and credit card accounts. All appears well. We are getting ready for the evening now. It is formal optional night so that means tux for me. We will dine with Tom & Marilyn Billings in the Compass Rose restaurant after pre-dinner cocktails up in their suite. Their suite is larger and nicer than ours. You may remember me talking about them before. Tom was a B-17 pilot in Europe during WWII and Marilyn was a flight attendant during the pre-jet airline days. We love listening to their stories. Show tonight is a magician so will be passing on that. May go up to the Observation Lounge to hear Jerry Vasi sing and play his guitar. He is super!
