Day 72 - 21 Sept - At sea to Noumea - 2

Today's EXE programming was limited due to a Mariner's award presentation. We and another couple received our Gold Medallions for having sailed over 500 days. Personally I never thought we would reach that milestone, but something happened and we started spending more time on ships. The next level is Platinum (700 days sailed) and we'll be well on our way to that level by the end of next year.

The coffee chat was with Patrick Roberts, violinist. It was an interesting interview. In the afternoon, Ron Orenstein presented a lecture on New Caledonia. Terry Greenberg spoke on East West differences. And we enjoyed the interdenominational Bible study. 

After a light Lido dinner, we attended Greg Redfern's talk on his top 13 space movies and then we saw the comedian, Darrell Sanders, from Melbourne. I personally didn't care for his humor or presentation style. Greg then told his travel story in the Crow's Nest.

Tomorrow we're back in Noumea which we visited 3 years ago on this ship. We were unable to snorkel due to winds. Would that happen again?
