Last night the ship changed course and slowed down. This morning there were a lot of rumors. The captain confirmed that we are skipping the bay of islands ( Waitangi ). The tender port was deemed unsafe for excursions. So we are now going straight to Auckland. Unfortunately we will not get an extra day there as we will not get in until 5 pm. So it will be too late for sightseeing. Also the weather looks less than favorable
I assume they are going slow to get a bearth for the ship and allow some of the weather to clear.
Martha went to Bruce's coffee chat with Steve
9:30 talk about the albatross by Robin Petch was very interesting
11 am talk by Russell Lee on wool was entertaining as always
Sat with Russell at lunch in the world cafe and talked about speech writing.
Afternoon birdwatching on the bow
