So we continue to have great weather. A few white caps today but the ship is smooth. Every day has been wonderful.

Last night was the 8th birthday of the Mariner. They had a special society party and had created a large cake shaped like the Mariner. The captain blew out the candles. They had all the staff that had been with the Mariner since its inception and called to the stage all the guests that sailed on the Mariner in her maiden year. It was nicely done.

This was followed by a great meal in Compass Rose. Crabmeat, dover sole and rack of lamb for me. Outstanding.

Tonight is sad as Canada Girl and Don and Carolyn leave tomorrow. Don and Carolyn thought about staying on but remembered they had promised to baby sit for five days and could not break that promise. We will miss them. Tonight we are going to Signatures as it is their FINAL SUPPER.

The auditions continue on TV for the crew talent show. It is so much fun to watch these I think everyone is really enjoying this event.

Off to trivia we continue to challenge but seem to be one or two off each day. SOON we will hit the jackpot.
