April 16th 2004:

Email from the Ship: 4-15-04- It was an interesting afternoon up on the bridge. We watched about 20 whales blowing water spouts and playing around in the ocean. They kept a distance from the ship so we had to use binoculars to really see more than then the water spouts.

The cloud formations were gorgeous again and the wind was lovely. We sat on the deck by the bridge on lounge chairs. I listened to music and Florence read. I've been playing scrabble by myself. I alternate from being starboard to port and it's been fun seeing how high a score I can get on each one.So far starboard is winning.

4-16-04=We had a beautiful sunrise this morning as we were passing Sri Lanka 05N 81E. Sailing on the Indian Ocean we have been seeing lots of other ships. Some are going the opposite direction to us and a lot of those going the same direction have a faster speed than we do so they pass us by.This morning they seemed to be emerging from the sunrise which makes a beautiful picture. We are off pirate alert for a few days until we get to the Gulf of Aden. So last night I was able to again enjoy the stars in the sky from monkey island.
