Seventh Day of the Cruise

All hail the victorious AssieNuks.  We all joined together to form an invincible trivia challenge team.  While Europe battles for soccer supremacy, we took on all trivia challengers and decimated them. Only our sense of fair play and modesty prevented us from scoring a perfect game.  We received a bottle of champagne for our victory.

Today we headed south towards Vancouver through the inside passage.    Just after breakfast we passed a pod of Orca whales.  I suspect that they were at least 6 whales that came within several hundred meters of the ship.  We entered Canadian waters about midmorning and sailed south between the Queen Charlotte Islands and the BC mainland.









For lunch we joined the captain for a special lunch.  It was Indonesian food but most of it was too spicy for Marg and her dad.  Several off the staff wore traditional Indonesian clothing and it was very classy indeed.

Before dinner we all meet in our room to have some drinks and can-of-peas.  Wendy and John jammed with her harmonica and his spoons.  Wendy then played an original composition for us.  

Dinner was the usual cheerful time but tinged with a bit of sadness as the cruise is coming to an end and we be saying goodbye to John & Ellen until our trip down under, hopefully not too far in the future.
