Day 163
FEBRUARY 9, 2020
CRUISING THE TASMAN SEA
It was confirmed this morning that we will not be stopping in Hong Kong March 8 - 10. Instead the Viking Sun will be in Singapore March 9 - 11 and resuming its original schedule from there. This change puts a little stress on those originally scheduled to depart for home from Hong Kong. Ah well, it's just another adventure that we relate to friends and family as time passes. All things considered, we are fortunate compared to several other ships that have had to endure quarantines. Here's hoping our luck continues.
Today was championship day at the Duplicate Bridge table. Michael Walker, our bridge instructor, has done such a fine job teaching newbies like us about the various conventions, bidding systems and play that my partner and I came in second among the twenty players. I will see Michael and his wife Beverly at the Penticton Duplicate Bridge Tournament in June.
As this is written, Viking Sun is rocking and rolling better than ever - eeeehawww! While a photo cannot capture the intensity of the sea's power, believe me the power is there....and felt. Good fun, eh?
Worse is yet to come the Captain tells us, but that will be at night. Too bad!
Although the ship has been diverted from Melbourne, Australia, are we downhearted? No, let's hear and see something upbeat, something like "What a Feeling" from Flashdance.
