Hello Ngaire,
My husband and I happened to be on the South America Mariner Cruise when your group joined us.Wasn't that trip fantastic!
We sailed with HAL in September of 2002, Circle the Pacific. When we crossed from Vancouver to Russia, we hit 55 foot seas! Glad to see that you have calm weather now.
Do you know Geoff Clyesdale, the host for Golden Bear Travel? He is currently onboard to Hong Kong. If you do, please say Hi to him from us!
Happy Sailing,
Mary Ann and Bill
