This was our first sea day on this leg of the cruise. Early in the day we passed through the Kanmon Straits which were quite scenic and up close and personal with lots of ship traffic and shoreline views. I'm looking forward to our return sailing through here in two weeks. It was great scenic cruising.
The morning coffee chat was with Marc Wilson, the EXC photographer. It wasn't well attended. Dr. Kam gave his second talk on the history of Japan up to WWII. Joe Holliday followed with his presentation on the geology of Japan.
After lunch we watched a sushi demonstration by our EXC chef Yuji Haraguchi. The Future Cruise Consultant, Joanne, shared a canned presentation on 2020 and 2021 cruises. Marc Wilson presented a series of travel pictures, and Lance shared a port talk about Kanazawa.
After dinner in the Lido (even though it was Gala Night), we watched the first show by the Jersey Tenors and then a sobering talk by Dr. Kam on Japan's rapidly declining population and it's effects on the culture, society, and politics.
Tomorrow we're in Kanazawa which is our last Japanese port before two Russian ports. Stay tuned.
