Day 35 - Monday - 5/01/17 - At Sea to Alaska - 2

The fog horn continued to blow overnight and it was still foggy in the morning.  After leading the Interdenominational service (quite well attended) with a topic of 'Mystery' we ate a later breakfast than normal.  There was another Mariner awards ceremony and Bruce noted there were over 1,000 Mariners on the crossing.  It was followed by a Mariner's lunch.  There we enjoyed table conversation with a Dutch couple, single ladies from Perth and Alabama.  Before the 3pm lecture on Issac Newton, we did a bit of reading.  Andy Fletcher was a bit difficult to keep up with his presentation on Newton and Einstein and their positions about science, particularly time and space.  Afterwards we assumed our position in the Crow's Nest, read and watched for wildlife as the skies had cleared.  We spotted some fish rising and ocean debris, but that was all.

While tonight was Gala Night, we elected to eat once again in the Lido and had simple meals.

The evening's entertainment was Elliott Finkle, a simply outstanding pianist.  We've seen him before and in my opinion he's the best entertainer we've seen on a ship!  We even came back to watch his 10pm show.  I hope he plays an afternoon classical concert  like we had on another ship.
