Thursday 14 January

We spent the day on board ship. We went to two lectures this morning. The first was an oceanographer from University of MD who presented an interesting discourse on coral and other life found around coral reefs, especially in the Caribbean and in the Pacific along our projected route. The second lecture was on Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding area and we had a difficult time staying awake. The rest of the day was leisure, just hanging around the deck and reading. Sorry there's no more news.
