On the 26th we awoke to a chilly overcast morning with a light drizzle so we skipped our deck walk. It was a day to take it easy and catch up on sorting through the hundreds of safari photos we took. The sun finally came out but it stayed cool. Terry Breen gave a talk about Napoleon’s exile in St Helena. We had cocktails and dinner with 3 other couples and were the last to leave the Compass Rose. The evening’s entertainer wasn’t too good on his last show so we spent a few minutes in the casino before going to Liar’s Club. The LC is a game where an obscure word is given and each of three panelists gives a definition of the word, only one of which is the correct definition. There were 14 teams guessing each of 3 words and we were one of the winning teams with 2 correct guesses. You can only guess because the words aren’t common and each “definition” seems to be correct. The clocks were turned back another hour to put us on the same time zone as London.
On the 27th (Thanksgiving in the USA) we awoke at 5:00am to warmer temperatures and with the sun poking through the clouds. With 2 time changes in a row it’s hard to sleep late so we got our 1 hour deck walk in before 7:30. Terry Breen gave a great narrative on what to see and expect in Jamestown, St Helena and following that we had Tex Mex lunch on the pool deck. We had two tables of Pooch followed by trivia (which we won again.) The evening dress code was formal and the Seven Seas Society (SSS) cocktail party was held before dinner. The Compass Rose hosted a dinner dance and, in addition to a traditional turkey dinner, the standard SSS menu included escargot, steak au poivre and (the best choice) rack of lamb. The show was one we’d seen twice before so we did some casino play and chatted with friends in the Navigator Lounge.
