Two perfectly calm days between Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, and Darwin; the sea is so calm you feel nothing. We've seen almost no other ship traffic, save the occasional cable layer (top) and mystery yacht (bottom).
And this is the Alotau ferry. Much like the buses, crowds of people hanging on for dear life!
Cap also has had time to teach our delightful butler, Abhi, how to tie a bow tie. Interestingly, Abhi knows one of our butlers from a few years back Cap taught bow-tie-tieing to, and we have photos of him with the same tie!
Abhi, as well as Fanny and Wayan, stateroom attendants, keep us in great spirits.
Of course the sunsets in this part of the world are spectacular; here are just two examples.
And, finally, Happy New Year to you all! Here we are all dolled up for a nice dinner with friends (although we didn't make midnight!)
We beat you in Colorado by 16-1/2 hours (why Darwin is 30 minutes off from its neighboring territories is beyond us)!
happy new year from keystone.
