We are on our way to Jost Van Dyke and the Atlantic Ocean is calm and the weather is just about as perfect as it gets. Temperature is mid 70s with sun and some clouds. We had a pretty quiet day, deck walks, hoped for a blackjack tournament but NO ONE showed up?! We will see if that continues. I am hoping that the lecture at the same time drew people there instead of into the casino.

We joined our friends James and Shelley from Victoria BC and 2 other couples for a trivia team which we named “Tropic of Answer”. No, not original, we borrowed it from a team that was on Vista with us in December because it was one of our favorite names. It will be a good team, we got first place with 2 other teams – 16/17 correct.

We had dinner in Red Ginger, a favorite. They start you with edamame and then do the “magic towel” for you to clean your hands. Remember the towels you got for your kids? Put hot water on this compressed thing and it turns into a towel. Here is the one in Red Ginger after they use a little teapot to pour on the hot water.

The food is delicious. I can’t help taking pictures of it. just a few since I started to eat some before I remembered to take pics.

We were seated at the back of the restaurant so we had the sunset view!

The show tonight was amazing. Tom Franek is a musician and then some. He is a terrific pianist, singer and contortionist who plays the piano from every angle you can imagine! It was hard to get good pictures, but look at this position!

You can see it better from the one I took of the screen.

And he plays very difficult songs. If you ever get the chance to see him, definitely drop everything and go. He will have one more show on this cruise.

Tomorrow is another sea day. Relaxation is on the agenda.
