Day 54 @ sea enroute of Albany, Australia

Today was another sea day and since we turned our clocks back 90 minutes last night you would think we would be up early.  I was up by 7 but I let Bill sleep till 8:30 and then woke him up.  We headed up for breakfast and when we were finished Pat came over and she and I were talking.  They were trying to close the Lido so we headed to the Bistro to finish our conversation.  In walks Ilene and joins our party and then Nelda.  Ahh it was like the old days in 12!  After we all solved the worlds’ problems we each headed our separate ways.  As it was too late for knitting I met Bill and we were heading into lunch and Ilene was right behind us so she joined us for lunch.  Bill had gone to a couple of lectures after lunch I headed to the jewelry store and they cleaned all my diamonds for me.  I was going to go to the movie this afternoon but there was none.  We were in the cove speaking with Alissa the Crystal Society Hostess and the Captain  came on and said we needed to head back towards Adelaide to Port Lincoln as there was another medical emergency.  So we turned around and headed back.  The best line was someone asked if we had to put our clocks back the 90 minutes we just put them ahead.  We were met by a helicopter and a little while later we were informed by the Captain that the patient was doing okay. Since we lost about 4 hours the Captain put the pedal to the metal and was hauling ass.  It was a little rough because of the wind but he wanted to get us into Albany tomorrow on time.  His update said we should arrive approximately on time or 10-15 minutes late! This is the 5^th evacuation so far this trip and we are about halfway done. 
We had a great dinner in the main dining room this evening.  The show was before dinner and it was great.  We have seen this guy before his name is Steve Stevens and he is really talented.  He sings, plays trumpet, ukele, and is a comedian.  His show was great and had us crying he was so funny.  Tonight was Battle of the Sexes  Trivia and Pat, Nelda and Ilene and I were suppose to meet and play.  Ilene told me she was going to bed so I waited for Pat and Nelda.  Came back to the room and Nelda had called to say she wasn’t going to make it.  Don’t know what happened to Pat but by this time all the teams were formed so I was left out and headed to bed to work on my blog!  It is kinda rough out there as the Captain has put the pedal to the metal to make up the time we lost due to the medical emergency.

Tomorrow is another sea day and I need to go to knitting as it doesn’t look right!  here we go again!  Anyway another great day and we are at the ½ point of this world cruise
