I just read in CC that the Captain of the Mariner is ill with a viral infection and had to be taken off the ship in Hakodate, Japan. The staff Captain, Fabrizio Rota has taken over. This was reported by a poster who is in the cruise.
Hopefully it is nothing too serious!!

Captain Phillipe is supposed to come back onboard our second day in Osaka, we were told tonight. From what we've been told, it wasn't a viral infection, but pure exhaustion. He'd been up all night three days in a row -- first the big storm, then two days of dense fog.
The captain was supposedn to change in Hong Kong anyway, and we'd been wondering if that would be a sooner change, but apparently not. The staff captain (whose name I can't spell or pronounce) has been in charge in the interim. That's a lot, since his job as staff captain is big enough as it is.
Tomorrow we're in Yokohama, and many of us have a (long) day trip into Tokyo.
The weather is warming up! Yea!!!

Glad to hear he is doing better. I think I would be exhausted if I had been up three nights in a row too. Well unless I was just partying and could sleep all day!!!
