Shrove Tuesday and there is a pancake race on deck 13 but it's so windy up there - Force 7 - I give it a miss and have pancakes at lunch instead - proper crepes with sugar and lemon. Breakfast with some nice WAers trying not to think about possible bushfires around their house in the Perth hills and an elderly couple from Pennsylvania who are travelling New York to New York - six months. I guess it beats doing housework.
As promised Judith Fordham gave us the gen on the mis-handled forensics in the Chamberlain case and an infamous Perth miscarriage of justice, the Andrew Mallard case. The oceanographer talked about tsunamis and how to avoid being caught up in one - stay away from tsunami-prone areas.
Gossip update: 1000 passengers are disembarking at Fremantle and there are another 5 in the morgue since Sydney.
Dinner tonight with elderly couple, daughter and granddaughter Audrey aged 3 who refused to eat and played a game on Mum's phone. Audrey does reduce the average age somewhat.
