As the Captain predicted yesterday, the winds and motion in the ocean increased overnight. We attended our last interdenominational service with Pastor Ken before attending Jeremy's last presentation on sights in Yokohama and Tokyo. We was followed by Dr. Kam's last presentation on China. It was an assessment of the current political and economic conditions in China and explained how China came to the powerhouse position it's in now. It was an excellent presentation. For the next segment he'll be speaking on topic can related to Japan.
Throughout the day the ship's moment became more intense until cresting around 4:30pm. Our granddaughter wasn't fairing well with the motion and spent most of the day in our stateroom. We attended a presentation about the stage productions as well as interviews with the cast members and took a tour of the back stage area. While sitting in the Crow's Nest watching the waves spray up alongside the ship, I then finished reading 'The Boys In The Boat' which I heartily recommend (both sitting in the Crow's Nest watching water pass under the keel and the book!).
Phil gave his 7pm presentation on Ramen which was thoroughly engaging.
The BBC film, Frozen Planet, which was accompanied live by the Volendam Orchestra was the evening entertainment, but not that well attended. Since we were tired, we chose to got to bed earlier than normal by 10pm.
Tomorrow we arrive in Yokohama for a turnaround stop. We gave a walking tour scheduled. Stay tuned!
