February 27 - At Sea

Today's lectures were Part I of the history of the convicts sent to Australia (Terry Bishop) which was interesting and The Beatles (Mitchell Symons) which was desappointing.  The seas are a bit rough again with more rolling and pitching than we've had for a while.  After lunch up at the buffet, Michael went to Italian lessons and I watched the Linda Ronstadt documentary in the cabin.

We were given a list of the excursions available for our upcoming modified segment around south Australia.  We quickly made our choices and I got in the line to turn it in.  That took about 20 minutes, but we got all the ones we wanted.

Today was, finally, a banner day for Team Hopeful at trivia when we got a perfect 15/15.  We all contributed an answer.  I knew it was Check Berry who made the song Johnny B. Goode famous and, thanks to son-in-law Russ who is a superhero fan, Michael and I together knew Peter Parker is Spiderman's alter ego.   We all celebrated at dinner tonight.  Well, we all ate together again, but we used the excuse of celebrating our win.

Clocks turn back an hour tonight and I could use the extra sleep.
