Sea Days - Sail Away

When you live on a cruise ship, life is divided into Port days and Sea days. On port days, many people get off the ship. They've arranged for tours, or maybe even a hotel for a night or two. On Sea days, you're looking for activities on board. Anyone who wants to organize an activity or a club, knows that it needs to be scheduled on a Sea day because that is when everyone is on board. Many people think that Sea days are dull and boring with nothing to do. We find it to be just the opposite.


When you've been at port for a while, leaving is called a Sail Away, and it is an event. We've had 'sailaways' on the bow, in our cabin, and in the observatory, but the most special 'sailaway' is when we're invited to our friend's balcony. Nuran has the best balcony on the ship - up on the 8th deck.



Then, I just had to try Google Photos AI feauture to 'Remix' photos as a Art Deco Painting ...

To see exactly how I made this, see our GeeksOnTour.com tutorial #1007 1007.GP-Remix a Photo to an Oil Painting



When we left Ha Long, we knew we had 5 sea days before our next port at Ho Chi Minh City. We have an active line dancing group on board with a very accomplished teacher/leader. So I planned to go to class every day. Jim was voluntold to dress up at Colonel Mustard for a 'clue' themed party and I also attended some choir practice sessions.



We also took care of some GeeksOnTour business and had a zoom meeting with our members.


Lastly, we had a book club meeting - the author of the book is one of our group! An Uncommon Red Guard.
