We had another Code Alpha alert yesterday. MJ instantly thought it might be another death. It turned out to be an electrical fire in once of the cabins whereupon he began deliberating about what to take on the life boat.
Having survived Christmas Island without any nuclear contamination MJ became anxious to learn that Samoa, our next port of call, is just recovering from a recent Tsunami.
However, after three days at sea the Captain has just announced that we wont be going ashore in Samoa after all due to the fact that we are trying to outrun a series of converging typhoons now named by the Americans as Hurricane Rene. So 5 more days at sea. Let's hope we make it to Auckland!

Hurricane Rene - there has to be a moral in that somewhere ! What a wonderful read Avril- what we want to know though is - Are you enjoying yourselves and are you meeting some nice people. Where are the majority of passengers from ? It is still cold here ( but sunny today)so keep on enjoying that lovely sun.
