Tai Chi in the morning, with a practice session in the afternoon. Most of the day just hanging.

Melvyn Foster, an excellent lecturer returning from previous Grand World Voyages, spoke on whales. Beyond baleen vs. toothed, that dolphins and porpoises are different, and we are very unlikely to see the latter, I need a job aid to keep track.

Janice won a bottle of champagne in a culinary trivia quiz. The dining room has a policy that if you bring a bottle of white wine, including champagne, that you got on the ship, they will replace it with a chilled bottle of the same and serve it without their usual corking fee.

Evening entrainment: Katzenjammer, two high-energy British pianists who play one piano with humor. Sat with the John and Jill from NYC to listen to Diane and had Chocolate Versailles (w/ cognac).
