We are indeed moving
faster. Our speed is now up to 16 knots. The windspeed is now down to 50 miles
per hour with higher gusts. We are, once again, bouncing around.
The third astronomy
presentation was this morning. Dare I say it was even better than the other
two. I think we have a trend here. Alan holds a chat in the piano lounge after
his talk. My only regret is that I cannot attend because it conflicts with the
Test Kitchen events.
Today in the test kitchen
Abbey presented two salmon recipes, and showed us how to prep and handle the
salmon. She explained that there is no stigma in using farm-raised salmon.
Also, if only frozen or previously frozen and thawed salmon are available, the
frozen salmon is the better choice. Of course fresh caught salmon is
preferable, if available.
At noon the captain said
we would arrive at Kangaroo Island at noon tomorrow. This will be four hours
later than scheduled. The shore excursion folks must be going nuts. It will be
especially hard on them because our satellite link has been spotty at best.
That makes communication with shoreside providers difficult. That is also why
these blog updates have not been uploaded.
We look forward to
dining with Sandy and Roger from The Villages tonight. We know them from a
previous South America voyageand the World Cruise in 2016. We are looking forward
to catching up.
