Sometime during the night the periodic blast of the ship's horn began its lonely but persistent tone. Without looking outside I knew it was an indication we were sailing in low visibility conditions. As dawn broke we could see the fog and validate the reason for that persistent tone. And that fog would not leave us throughout the entire day. Periodically we would get a glimpse of little fishing vessels or an occasional tanker or freighter.
Today was the first day for an interdenominational service led by Pastor Ken from British Columbia. We had a small group and enjoyed meeting new folks.
Jeremy, the Location Specialist, gave a detailed presentation on Incheon and was followed by Dr. Kam's excellent historical talk on Hong Kong history.
We participated in a wine tasting and apart from that noting else was on the schedule for the rest of the afternoon. So I finished 'Killing the Rising Sun' which I really enjoyed.
We ate dinner in a really quiet Lido and listened to Philip's (Location consultant) excellent presentation on customs in China. The small room was packed, and his tips were very good. While Angela went to the movie, I attended the main stage show, String Idols, where the two Japanese violinists put on a great show. It was good enough that I went back to see it at 10pm with Angela.
For the next two days we are in Shanghai and their immigration process seems strange but I'll report on it tomorrow. Stay tuned.
