Day 3 has gone by much like day 2, but no beading. After a better night’s sleep and a not terribly exciting sunrise, we had an early breakfast and then did 2 laps of deck 10, the top deck, equalling half a mile. (4 laps being the full mile). Back to our room for a relaxation session. I sat on the balcony for a bit but it was in the full sun and got too hot. Took our sewing etc up to deck 9, but had lunch instead, then found a table to sit at and sew for a while, but once again it got too noisy so we retreated back to our balcony. Now a quiz question, what is the collective noun for flying fish? Keep reading and I’ll tell you, lol. Whilst enjoying the balcony, no longer in the sun, we watched many glides of flying fish, fascinating little things. Last night’s dinner was one of the formal ones but tonight was back to casual wear.
When sitting out looking at the incredible blue of the water and the flat horizons, one can understand the idea that the world is flat, and all this water, it’s just amazing. How brave were those who ventured out in those early sailing vessels and discovered new countries, taking months to get anywhere over this vast expanse.
As the blood moon eclipse wasn’t visible here I just took a photo of it as it was, lol. The Captain in his 12 noon briefing said that this event last happened in 1964 and that the gang planks would be 3 metres out of position for 7 hours at Broome because of it’s effects on the tides, hence changing us to Port Hedland.
