Today and yesterday at sea were the best two days we’ve had the whole trip! Seas have been calm, skies have been clear and blue most of the day (it usually fogs up a bit at night), and temperatures have been in the low to mid 70s (Fahrenheit). Plus, all this while crossing the Tasman Sea, an area noted for low pressure systems that make for not so nice weather according to the Captain and other cruisers I’ve spoken with.
I’m about an hour and a half to sunset and (fingers crossed) it’s still clear to the horizon so maybe tonight I can get the photo I’ve been wanting to get since I signed up for this cruise: the green flash as the tail end of the sun’s disk just drops below the horizon. It’s tough shot as the green flash is not always there and the conditions have to be just right to see it even if it is there.
Let you know in the next post if the gods smiled tonight. 🙂
Valentine’s Day (one more day at sea after today) we will be in Sydney.
