Monday we dock in St. John's, Antigua. We arrive at around 10am. St. John's is a classic example of the British Caribbean. Lots of beaches that are protected by coral reefs and a ring of forts. We are not taking a tour today and will probably just walk about.
We got to swim early this morning and then a light breakfast. Lots of the people are going on a tour. We decided not to take the tour we had signed up for as it was 6 hours. And we have been here in the past.
As it turned out, we did not go into the town. We just stayed on board and read and I knitted. Started a new sweater. Had a light lunch and then I sat on the balcony and finished the book I was reading. Some bad news is that my Kindle Fire has decided to not work. I have tried using Noel's charging cord but that did not help. So she looked on line to see what I could do and everything I tried has not worked. This is troublesome as I have lots of books on the Kindle that I have not read yet.
They had a sail away party for the gold, platinum and titanium members. They held it up on the forward deck which is not available to the passengers except for special occasions. We talked with Carol and Parker from California and agreed to have dinner with them tomorrow night.
Returned to the suite to get ready for cocktails and dinner. I started watching "The 33". This is about the 33 miners trapped in the mine in Chile. Interesting movie.
Dinner in Compass Rose where we sat in Nico's section. He is going home tomorrow. He has been on the ship for 9 months. I can't imagine being away from the family for that long. The service people really give up a lot to work on the ships. But they are planning for the future.
Back to the suite and I read using Bob's iPad.
