I slept a bit much today with several naps. I am hoping this extra sleep can ward off any possible flu. I don't feel sick right now, but I am a bit slow. Perhaps that is how I should feel at this point during six weeks at sea. We had another 'Mariner Lunch" at 1:00 PM today. We sat with two couples also from British Columbia whom we'd not met. They were quite old and the conversation although pleasant was a little repetitive. A good number of the 880 passengers who continued the cruise in Sydney boarded back in Vancouver!
I am struggling to get through a novel called 'Mirage' by F. Paul Wilson and Matthew J. Costello. It's about a new memory visualization technology being used by the protagonist to find out what happened to a twin sister who's in a coma. It's not bad but not terribly riveting. Yet, I've invested too much time to give up on it now.
