Christmas Day December 25, 2017, Cairns, Australia

December 25, 2017


To say the seas have been flat for the last two days would be an understatement. We've barely seen a whitecap or swell. Often we could see mainland Australia off our port side. And the number of small boats we've seen with no land in sight makes one wonder. Just south of Cairns Sunday afternoon we were sailing northbound through an area of beautiful islands. March of 2017 Cyclone Debbie with 160 mph winds devastated many of the resorts and structures on these islands.










And what could be more perfect way to enjoy a cocktail than by having Mother Nature include a spectacular sunset. (Still watching for that 'Green Flash')








I brought along an assortment of Christmas bow ties that I've enjoyed wearing. Suzy forgot hers, the one with little flashing red and green lights. Many dressed in holiday garb and many little bulbs flashing on necklaces were seen on the ladies. Before the Christmas Eve dinner in The Grand Dining Room, many of the crew and guests gathered to sign Christmas Carols around the Grand staircase.



Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
