We enjoyed a lazy day at sea which are some of my favorites. The seas were calm and its color was a stunning green. The ship's bow cut a pronounced wake that fanned out in a vee shape for at least a mile behind us. Never in our years of cruising have I seen such a sight. It was very pretty.
On board we had a port lecture by Jeremy and Phil that was very informative about our next two ports of call. Dr. Kam gave a lecture on the history of Cambodia which was quite good. At the beginning of his lecture he requested that no photos or videos be taken. A fellow in the front row started taking pictures of every slide before Dr. Kam stopped his lecture and respectfully requested that the fellow stop taking pictures. Fortunately he responded.
Our afternoon was filled with a mile walk on the promenade, a Battle of the Sexes game show, some reading and listening to live classical music, and a presentation by Phil on coffee in Vietnam.
It was Gala night with Alaskan Crab as a highlight dish. One couple at our table will be on one of the excursions I'm leading at Halong Bay and they are also motorcycle riders. We had an invitation to another Officer's Reception, but passed to see the movie 'The mountain Between Us' which was filmed in Canada. We finished up the night watching the 10pm cast show of Dance on the Main Stage for the second time this cruise before retiring. 7am is our departure time tomorrow for our visit to Saigon, Vietnam. Stay tuned for what will likely be more adventure.
