Friday night we attended a World Cruise Senior Officers Cocktail Party. Our table of 8 then ate with Captain Bates & his social assistant at his table. He’s a very personal, interesting, and humorous person. He just married last May 9th and plans on retiring this August.
Today we rode the tender in to Whitsunday that was a 30 minute ride. We walked and enjoyed the town and the beach. The return tender was on a much larger boat and we had a conversation with a nice young fellow that is a tour guide who gave us some tid bits of information. A very good day.
We’ll arrive in Auckland, New Zealand approximately 7:30A.M. Thursday (1:30 P.M EDT Wednesday). We now are advancing our time 1 hour the next 3 nights before we get to have some 25 hour days retuning home.
