Townsville That Wasn't

It's November 12 at about 9:10 am. here in Oz.

Well, we didn't go ashore at Townsville.  The weather report said high winds and seas so they couldn't even get the tenders into the water. Lots of people were disappointed, but the up-side is that we will get more time in Port Douglas.  That qualifies as a Yippee for me (Connie).

I can't feel any unusual movement on the ship.  They have really good stabilizers. I keep looking to see if we have another dolphin escort today.  We've had them off the bow at least twice on this trip.  Fun to see. Rob saw flying fish one day.

We're drying our gear on the balcony. I've had enough sun for a while. I just hope the weather clears for the eclipse in two days.  The captain says he will chase clear skies as far as he has to so we get a good view of that. So many people came on this trip just to see it.

Well, here's a picture of Brisbane....

This is outside the planetarium.
