We are crossing the Arafura Sea on a calm sea towards Darwin at full steam ahead at 18 knots - as announced by the captain at noon.
David has had another hectic day on the lecture circuit and I am happy to say that partner Margaret and I have cracked the bridge: first with 75 %, which entitles us to two stamps on our cards. We had a drink (elderflower mojito) in the Golden Lion pub to celebrate.
For dinner we tried the early sitting: the trick is check which of the two levels is manned by maitre d "mean eyes" and go to the other where "happy eyes" will let you in. Maria sussed this out and it works. The chilled raspberry soup was magnificent.
