Finally, our last sea day for a little while. And a hot and humid day.
Last evening, Jeff's troupe performed their last two performances of Country Jam. All went fairly well with just a few minor lyric stumbles. Between the two shows I stepped outside on the promenade deck where a gentle breeze was blowing. There were fishing boats with bright lights shining from them; the boats were strung out along the large island we were passing. There was no moon and their lights were used to attract squid and shrimp I learned from another passenger. When it was time to go into the show all was well. Forty five minutes later after the show, I went to see them again and was nearly blown off the deck by heavy winds followed by a rainstorm! It came on very suddenly.
Today was the infamous "crossing the equator" ceremony, steeped in tradition, so they say. We avoided it and are trying to think of a better way to celebrate the event before we complain about the waste of food and water for tradition sake.
A brother-sister team we've become acquainted with entertain each night in the main atrium lounge and tonight we spent time with them and a bottle of wine after their show...late. They are from the English Midlands. Alan plays for the pop choir and arranges all the music, and Alana directs the choir and also sings. We love hearing their travel stories and their suggestions about what to see and what to skip as we consider excursions. They've been around the world quite a few times and have had so many interesting experiences as entertainers and as travelers.
