I got up at 6:30 new time and dressed for the day. I went to breakfast at 7:30 and after that I went to the library to pick up the daily crossword. After working the crossword, I went to the Coffee with Jai at 9:15 to learn about Staff Captain Symen van der Veen. At 10, I returned to the cabin and finally got my videos copied to my laptop. At 11, I went to the World Stage to hear the Captain's update on Greenland and the Solar Eclipse. There were no seats left in both levels so I stood at the entrance to listen to information about ice during our Greenland stops and chance of clouds forecast for the Solar Eclipse day. The Captain said that we could alter our course depending on where the clouds were. I stopped by the store on the way back and bought a nice sweater and returned to the cabin. My laundry that I put out last night came back at 12:30 and after putting it up, I went to the Lido for some lunch. After lunch, I returned to the cabin and read until 3 when I went to the Billboard Onboard for drinks. At 4, I returned to the cabin to get ready for dinner. This was a dressy night and the New Statendam Ball. I went to dinner in the dining room at 6:30. I got a table for 2 by myself and after dinner, I went to the Billboard Onboard and had a drink while listening to the band in the Rolling Stone Lounge until 8 when I returned to the cabin to find that I have been invited to a complementary Regional Wine Tasting in the dining room at 1:45 tomorrow. I finished this blog entry and went to bed to read for a while before turning in. It looks like we will be having the fog horn sounding all night.
