After personal training and spinning, during which I perspired as if I as still in Belem, because the humidity was pervading the ship still, I tackled some packing for about 4 hours. You might think I made a huge dent, but we have to do the old spreadsheet thing of itemizing those things we are shipping and those things we bought, so the chickens have come home to roost for me. Even so I felt relief at finally making some headway, especially now that I have my Chinese laundry bags!!
This evening was a formal which began with a cocktail party for the Mariner's Appreciation Day. Barry and I received silver HAL medallions and were called up, along with hundreds of others to have our pictures taken with the Captain, our friend Jonathan, for our over 300 days sailed. There were plenty of others who were honoured with over 700 days sailed. It was a nice evening, and we elected to go to the Piano Bar instead of the show, where Debbie Bacon entertained us with piano, saxophone and singing featuring the music of Henry Mancini. Debbie is very talented and has a large following on the ship.
