Day 88 At Sea

We had a really sizzling day today. Around 3:00 this afternoon we crossed the Equator for the 3rd time on this voyage. We can seem to make up our mind which hemisphere we want to sail in…. This morning at 0930 I continued my tour of the ships engines that I wrote about on Day 77. That day we had to cut the tour short so I was very happy today when we were invited back to finish the tour. It was great! I especially like when we got all the way aft and watched the shaft spinning for the propellers. It was a lot hotter today that before because we are running more engines than our previous tour. I was very appreciative of our opportunity to tour the lower decks…. At 1230 today I had a meeting for our upcoming overnight tour to the Maasai Mara game reserve in Kenya. I also signed up for a hot air balloon ride at Maasai Mara on the second day. This also is my birthday… what a way to celebrate your birthday. Tomorrow we arrive into the island of Mahe’ at Victoria in the Seychelles… It will be a great day, I can just feel it. Ron, Glenda & I plan on hitting the town and markets first and hopefully getting a taxi and exploring the beaches around the island. The second day is planned for a total beach day.
