Lee, it's number nine for us.

About last night - after dinner, we went to the Beatles Pub Night. I have never seen so many people dancing in Horizon Lounge. We had so much fun.

This morning the Captain had to divert Marainer to answer a "mayday" call. Alan and I wondered why the ship was zig-zagging through Chinese fishing boats as we ate breakfast outside at La Veranda. It turned out to be a non event. The small fishing boat that issued the "mayday" call was fine. After the Chinese Coast Guard gave us the go ahead to leave the area, Mariner made it through the maze of fishing lines without mishap.

I can't believe it's already time for lunch. See ya later.
