We got up around 8:30 and ordered our coffee and
breakfast from room service. While we
had our coffee I caught upon computer stuff.
We were anchored off Catalina Island so our MiFi worked. Tomorrow we
will have to use the ship’s internet.
I opted to take the tender to Avalon and see if I could find some geocaches. The weather was cool but comfortable. I had downloaded 10 caches near the harbor at Avalon.
After reading the information I narrowed my choices down to one earthcache. I had to walk from the landing area over to
and out onto the pier. Most of the
information to claim the find was in the lengthy description of the cache. I don’t care for earthcaches, I prefer the no
longer allowed virtual caches. They
required an answer to a question and or a picture. The typical earthcache asks 4-5 questions and
often requires some speculation.
The attached pictures are scenes from around the waterfront in Avalon.
I
went back on aboard at about 3 PM and met Gerri by the pool where there was no
breeze and the temperatures were warmer.
We watched half of a movie, The Sound of Music. We split a slice of pizza. Later we went to the Skywalker for the daily
hors d’oeuvres. Today they featured
steak tartar. Of course there were the
usual variety of cheeses and vegetables.
We sat with a couple that we sat with during the Muster drill.
The
ship started moving about 6. They seemed
to be having trouble getting the anchor loose.
Of course with over 200’ of chain out that took a while.
At
7 we went to the Vista Lounge and watched a Motown show before going to
dinner. We went to our regular dinner
seat. All three couples were present. After dinner we went to the Princes Theater
and saw a comedian, Miguel Washington.
This
was a good day. It was smooth sailing, some
sun, a geocache, great scenery at Catalina, good food and entertainment. We were in bed by 11 to be ready for our only
day at sea on this cruise.
