Day 8 - Tuesday - 4/4/17 - At Sea on the Yellow Sea to Tianjin

It turned out to be a really lazy day at sea.  There was no rush to get up at all, although were up by 8 am.  We skipped the interdenominational service and watched Gonzaga play North Carolina in the final game of the college championships from Phoenix.  The game was 6 pm Monday in Seattle but it was 9am Tuesday on the ship.

Dr. Kam gave a terrific talk on the history of China's dynasties up to the last emperor.  His next talk will cover from there to current day.  After lunch I continued my read of Boys in the Boat.  We were supposed to see a BBC game show, but it was cancelled for computer technical problems so I spent the rest of the afternoon reading.  Anastasia was much more chipper today especially when she met a 15 year old Aussie boy with similar interests.

Dinner was in the Lido Market again and then Philip our location host gave a nice presentation on Dim Sum.  We watched 'Sully' in the main theatre before watching the cast presentation of 'Dance' at 10pm.

The skies outside during the day were very overcast and the ship barely crept along at 12 mph.  Much of the afternoon the fog horn was blaring its mournful tone.

Tomorrow our plan is to visit the Great Wall with Judy's group.  Stay tuned.
