| Really - its says Chan May on the boat |
After a
day at sea, everyone was excited to be arriving for the maiden call in Chan
May, Vietnam. Unfortunately, we have a
unique experience on this cruise – a port abort. The fog is so thick that even the pilot boat
agrees with the Captain, after three hours of waiting for the fog to lift and
two abandoned attempts to enter the port, it’s time for the Queen Elizabeth to
set sail to sea again. A bit of a
disappointment for everyone because the tours to the city of Hue were going to
be very interesting. Our safety is preferable, so back asea. The crew is doing a great job of setting up
various activities that weren’t even planned for today. Port presentations, movies, line dancing,
cha-cha dance class, watercolor painting and shopping. As soon as the ship is 15 miles offshore,
there is no fog. Lots of people are
enjoying the sun and the pools. For us,
it turns in to a ‘free’ day to read and relax.
The ship
will be at sea again tomorrow (Sunday) on its way to Phu My, Vietnam. Let’s hope that the weather will cooperate at
this next port. The clock’s time has
gone back another hour – we are now 12 hours ahead of East Coast, USA.
Happy St.
Patrick’s Day!!
