It was very windy this morning before dawn. The seas had abated to a gentle 4 metre roll. A huge group gathered to attend the Dawn Service where the Captain Laid a Wreath, prayers, singing of Australian & New Zealand National Anthems. Red Poppies, Anzac Biscuits and the opportunity to partake in a game of Two up ensure the Aussie & Kiwi passengers were able to commemorate the Sacred Anzac Day that is so significant to all occupants of the Lands Down Under.
Breakfast at the'trough' because it opens earlier and we actually missed dinner last night. A sail boat passed us heading south. I hope the seas are better for him they were for us. If not they are in for one hairy adventure.
We went watch the wave riders on the flowrider, what fun invention. They spent quite a bit of time being swept away.
Richo's Dessert was almond polenta cake with Amaretti Sauce but I opted for the Chocolate Mousse Cake withWhite Chocolate Praline & Rice Crispies andOrange Sorbet. 
A wander about the ship to reveal No ones driving the boat!
Richo had a Titanic moment with some Random Passenger.
I sat on the helipad thoroughly enjoying the fact that the contents of my stomach aren't losing the battle with gravity. It's a beautiful day 15 knot winds 23C degrees and all these little flying fish are trying to outrun us. I'd love to show you how pretty they are but they are too quick.

For the more adventurous there is a rock climbing wall. Not for these little Black Ducks.
This is the little cafe which is open 24 hours. Pizza, cakes, rolls, donuts, coffees or teas. Great for a midnight snack or for those waiting for the rough seas to settle so their stomachs could follow suit.
4/15 was our pathetic score in the ABBA trivia game. I'll pay more attention to the names of songs in future.
On the subject of suits its Formal night tonight.
