A couple of days at
sea on the way to Kushiro. They do a great job of keeping us entertained.
Besides the usual eating, bingo, trivia, we toured the navigational bridge and
learned a lot about how they run a ship like this. I had a wonderful massage
with Katie, who definitely has magic hands. There was a delicious & fun pub
lunch, with singalong. Our Sunday church service included “Go Now in Peace”,
our signature benediction. We normally sing it at the end of every trip, but
decided that this worship service was a good time to do it. Only 5 of the 8 of
us knew it, so we had a practice session ahead of time. Then our music didn’t
work so it was a cappella. The musical entertainment, a piano concert by
Hyperion Knight was excellent. Sunday night was a game of Liars’ Club. I went
alone, and enjoyed that while everyone else in our group turned in. We continue
to set back our clocks every night. I think we’re now 12 hours different from
home, and I think that’s where we’ll be until we leave Japan. I’m writing this
at 4:45 am because we’ll soon be cut off the internet as we are entering
Japanese waters and they don’t allow us access. I may not get this posted
before it goes down, but I’ll try. We’ll be on tour today, then at sea again.
