THURSDAY, APR 8TH--AT SEA

Really lazy day today. About the only thing I did productively was pack my suitcase for our safari. Will be leaving the ship Sunday morning when we dock in Richards Bay. At midnight tonight we will be passing just off the southern tip of the island of Madagascar, the world’s fourth largest island. We are still cruising in the Indian Ocean. It was sunny and 81F today with little wind but some swells so ship is moving about just a little. Tonight we are having dinner with Nancy & Dave from Durango, CO. Nancy plays the piano for our church services. The ship’s singers and dancers are previewing a new show they put together for the world cruise so will definitely go see it. We gained an hour last night and another tonight. So tomorrow we will be 7 hours ahead of central time.
