At Sea to Melbourne, Australia

Tuesday - Feb 19, 2008 - At Sea to Melbourne

We will be out at sea all day and most of this evening. The ship’s record is talking about the Beaufort Wind Scale, which was created by Francis Beaufort, who was born in 1774 in Ireland. He invented the Scale in 1806 as a method of measuring the wind by the size of the waves, most important for sailing vessels back in the 1800’s.

We had a great day on the water heading to Melbourne! The sea was perfect and the sun was brilliant! We spent most of the day on deck at Tommie's favorite bar overlooking the swimming pools and the sunbathers.

It will be formal dress this evening, so Monty will be wearing his Tux for the first time. I think he actually enjoyed it. The pictures turned out nice as well. We had a very relaxing day on the ship, went swimming in the back pool which is heated and a salt water pool, I think they all are salt water, not sure that they all are heated thou, as we never tried them. We did some gambling after dinner, Monty won about $75.00 and I won about $10-15, which is just fine with me, it’s only for fun anyway. The dinner and show were very enjoyable.
