Fri 0227 – day 4 – at sea
There were 2 destination lectures today. The first, about The Great Barrier
Reef, was presented by the pilot who will be with us all the time we are within
the reef. Well worth the time. The second was about Hamilton Island and the
Whitsundays. The speaker was the same gentleman who did the Australia overview
two days ago. It turns out that he is a journalist and not the professor I
thought he might have been. His presentation, unfortunately, was more of a
travelogue than the subject would lead one to believe. It was probably a talk
he had given before, but it should/could have been tailored to the ship and
itinerary. It was mostly interesting and somewhat self-serving for the speaker.
I walked our knowing things I didn’t know before, so it was worth the time,
Tonight’s show was a tribute to some of the better-known divas. Much better
than last night.
