November 2 - At Sea

The Emerald Princess is now on a west, southwesterly course in the South China Sea.  Some facts about this sea:   The South China Sea opened around 45 million years ago when the 'Dangerous Ground' rifted away from southern China.  Extension culminated in seafloor spreading around 30 million years ago, a process that propagated to the SW resulting in th V-shaped basin we see today.  Extension ceased around 17 million years ago!!!  Another bit of trivia.  

Today we were meant to have the King Neptune celebrations at 11 am but the weather was lousy - wet and windy so has now been postponed for a few days.  Didn't worry me or the other mahjong players, we're all too old for that these days!!! 

As one day follows another, so too does breakfast, lunch,  dinner 😂 & then the show.  Of course there is the walking, reading & occasional cocktail too. Jon Darsk, the pianist, was in the Princess Theatre again for the 2 shows (8 & 10.15) and so we ate early in order to go to the early show.  It was so good we stayed for the late one! He is a marvellous artist, had a standing ovation each time.
