at Sea
I had booked a round of golf in Cape Verde weeks ago. Unfortunately, the course is not on the island where we port and there is not enough time to travel to the other island, play a round and return by all board time of 2:30.
Golf in Puerto Rico is not looking good. The course that is close enough to the port of San Juan is closed because of huge amounts of rain. We would only have enough light for 9 holes as we don’t arrive until 3pm. We are hoping they may open when we arrive.
One day at sea and then Mindelo, Cape Verde. It will be a short day and I think we will just spend time around the downtown area.
Group trivia. What was the Indy Pace Car in 1964? (Mustang) What did Leonarda Nimoy need to replace every 3 days in the 1960s? (Ears) In which sport would you meet the undertaker? (Wrestling) Where was India ink developed? (China) Which author said fear and death were a human constant? (Stephen King) Which island was returned to the Japanese in 1972 (Okinawa) How many spaces on a Monopoly board? (40) What was the original name of the Ed Sullivan Show? (Toast of the Town)
We watched a fashion show hosted by the shops on the ship and featured ship passengers. It was fun. Some of the folks on the runway we knew. Terri would have done well here. We have to stay informed!
We had dinner with Janet and Brian. We have a lot to talk about and have a lot of laughs. We talked about getting home. We have a direct flight to Detroit from Ft. Lauderdale. 2.5 hours. Janet and Brian are going to Atlanta and then Calgary. Long day for them.
Are dinner went past trivia time so we missed that. The entertainment is essential done for us. The Zuiderdam singers and dancers just don’t cut it for us. The comedian who drove around Africa wasn’t very funny. There is a passenger talent show tomorrow night. That could be fun!
Cards to finish the evening.
