at Sea
We are out of the Amazon and on our way to Grenada. Nothing from the Captain on water conservation. How did we do? How about a thank you? Has the restriction ended?
Dumping in the Amazon is not something the ship can do in the Amazon as it is too close to shore. As far as the water, the ship makes drinking water by running sea water through the engine and distilling it. A better approach would be telling the passengers exactly what is going on. Big ship, shallow waters, we want to keep the holding tanks as empty as possible. I’m very surprised they didn’t threaten the cookie supply. Use too much water and we can’t make cookies.
I guess that one goes along with 59 f forecast.
I haven’t been feeling well and I have been taking it easy. A bad cold I guess.
Group trivia went well but we were not a winner. I knew what the opposite of claustrophobia was. I nailed the number of keys on a standard piano. The name of the sea that the Volga River empties into? Richard knew that one. Can a giraffe swim?
The evening entertainment was a group call the Flyrights. A trio of male vocalists from London. Motown is what they sing. We saw them on the 2019 world cruise. Even better this time. One Motown hit after another done very well. I gave them a 10.
After the show the group was up near the shops selling CDs. I guess they may sell a certain amount but I’m not sure why they would think they could sell any? All covers done in the style of the original artist. Why would you buy this and not the original recordings? Family and friends? Definitely. General public? Not a chance.
We have been listening to a piano trio right after dinner. Violin, ‘cello, and piano. They play very well and we enjoy listening to them.
After the evening show, we often will listen to a trio in the Ocean bar. Bass, piano, guitar. They were put together to play on another ship. Guitarist is from Rio de Janeiro, pianist is from Shanghai, and the Bass player is from San Diego. They play extremely well together. Caleb, the bassist and group leader, can really play the string bass. He is quite outgoing and introduces himself to each member of the audience when they take a break. Great idea!…
