Date: Jan. 27, 2007
Location: At Sea in the South Atlantic
Next Port: Jamestown, St. Helena, Jan 28
Quick Summary: Another beautiful sunny sea day…the high pressure systems are holding. We had a restful day. Larry was finally able to get some photos up on the web using Picasa. (See special Day 18 report and info at the bottom of this report.) We enjoyed a very interesting tour ofthe Voyager’s Main Galley and Provision area.
Report: Following our workouts, devotionals and breakfast on the back deck, Karen attended her bridge class and Larry worked on his photos. Then we attended the enrichment lecture by Dr. Robert Clark on the history of St. Helena, including its connection with a series of early explorers and the forced final refuge of Napoleon.
After the lecture, we passed our induction as Turtles, thanks to the sponsorship of Alene and Don.
Our afternoon was spent walking on the outdoor track, sunning at the pool and working on the photos and journal.
At 5 pm, we joined the rest of Karen’s cooking class and their partners for a tour of the Voyager’s Main Galley and Provisions area. Sixteen of us heard Executive Chef Tobias Schreiber’s interesting and humorous commentary. We were also joined by Chef Stuart Conibear, the Cordon Bleu chef from the London Cordon Bleu School, who joined the ship in Rio in order to teach this class.
We went to the Observation Lounge for some music and arranged to have dinner in the Compass Rose with Nancy, Jerry and Ken. After dinner, we caught Kenny Smiles’ second show.
This was another fun sea day. Hopefully, the weather will hold for our short stop tomorrow at the remote island of St. Helena.
A reminder: photos of our cruise are now available at following web site. Photos of our Chef’s Tour have been added today:

Isn't the Galley tour great!!! I had a passing thought about absconding with some of the saffron - but then realized I wouldn't have far to run :). Seeing all the foie gras also gave me pause - after all, we did have a refridgerator in the suite!!
