Sea Mail from Mariner:

Another wonderful dinner and very relaxing day at sea.

The new coffee corner is really great. It is a larger area than the Voyager and has the best machine. The coffee is great out of this top of the line machine. The tables have been expanded and it is a great place to have a cup of coffee, work on our lap top and visit with people passing by. Quite a social gathering spot. Have nice baked goods and cookies all the time that I am still managing to resist.

Today again, it is a glorious sunny day with incredibly calm seas. Picture post card perfect. Hope it is like this in Bali tomorrow. Yes, we are going to Bali and I am delighted about that. So looking forward to it. Six of us are going to get either one van or two cars and go out into the country and small towns. Ralph has already been here so he knows the places to go and I am quite pumped about my first trip to Bali.

Dinner last night was lovely. We ate with the Staff Captain and he has spent a lot of time in Antarctica so one of the couples at the table are on the Hanseatic so there was great interest in what he had to say. Food was great, closed the dining room – AGAIN.

Internet is up and down and I am amazed that Marc posted so much. It is not easy and is slow. It took us about four times to post yesterday. I am composing on our lap top and then copying it over to post. Marc we could not handle the accounts so my office is sending you a check.

Okay signing off now. Some good speakers today so I am going to attend the cooking demonstration and then both seminars. Busy day at sea – isn’t life grand
