Day 10 Darwin - Singapore


Day 10 – Darwin – Singapore - 25/5/12

Weather – Fine, Sunny, 27C – 29C
Sunrise – 6.23am
Sunset – 6.27pm
Clock back another hour during the night – now -2hrs from Sydney

This morning at 4am we passed 7 miles from the small island called Goagoa on our port side, and then entered the Java Sea. At 6am this morning we passed Madura Island, also on our port side, about 25 miles off. We maintained a north-westerly course through the Java Sea , and at midday we passed Baewean Island about 16 miles to port.

Another Sea Day which again means RELAX day. Sea days will be at a premium once we get to Europe as the port days will be consecutive days, with just the odd sea day here and there, so it is a case of lapping it up while it's there. LOL.

We are starting to see the odd fishing boat here and there, but usually just big empty seas, with the odd ship.

The less said about Trivia the best, it was a case of lost opportunity. We had the answers within the team, but on 4 questions we went with alternative answers,. Yep, we finished 4 off the lead. Bugger.

An afternoon on pool deck was called for, as there was not much on a very busy program to drag us away from the water and deck lounges.

Out with the suit, as it was Formal Night. We were lucky enough to be invited to pre-dinner drinks with Pam and Randy in their suite. I think the bathroom in the suite is larger than our whole cabin!!! Very noice :)

Lobster and a Soufflé on the same night, ended a lovely evening and another magic day...this is the way to commute!

Too many drinks at pre-dinner drinks meant no after dinner shows for us.
