Day 38 At Sea

Our sail away last night from Sydney was great. Quite a number of friends gathered in the Crow’s Nest for the sail away party. Ron, Glenda, Charles & Patsy to name a few were there. I stepped out for a moment to catch a few photos with my Nikon S3 and even got one of myself taken by Lori from the Cruise Staff who is also pictured. I understand that she is the glue that holds the whole cruise staff department together….. OK, so I made that one up, although she is fabulous! It was a nice evening. This morning I was stunned to find the weather very cold, windy and wet. I’m thinking, “What happened to all those hot Australian summer temperatures we heard about on our way. The afternoon was much better. The sun came out but if you didn’t get out of the wind it was still pretty cold. Tomorrow we are in Melbourne, Australia. I have no specific plans…. I’ll just go “walkabout”. Melboure is a great city and I’ll just wander and catch some of the sights. Also, I understand Yan Yan’s family looks at my blog. I just want to say to his children, “your father is doing great and he can’t wait to see you in Semarang”
