Smooth sailing on the Coral Sea

I'm pleased to report that when we exited the area shielded by the Great Barrier Reef we encountered smooth seas. Yesterday and today we have had the smoothest sailing that we have had to date on this cruise. It is wonderful!

We had two lectures yesterday that I caught parts of on TV, 'Art Deco Architectural Landmarks' and 'Japanese Weddings, Is It Love or a Suitable Arrangement'. From what I saw, both were interesting.

It is so incredibly hot and humid out that I didn't even want to go out to get in the pool. It is the same today. There is condensed water on my window just from the muggy conditions. However, get in the pool I did and it was refreshing!
