bcummin Posted September 11, 2019 #305 Share Posted September 11, 2019 You brought back memories of our 2015 disastrous embarkation to Guam. Your four coming Lido Market dinners look tempting.

Rare Btimmer Posted September 12, 2019 Author #307 Share Posted September 12, 2019 We crossed the equator about 2.5 hours ago and then had the shellback ceremony. The person kneeling is one of the ship's 2 doctors. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Btimmer Posted September 13, 2019 Author #308 Share Posted September 13, 2019 We had quite the adventure today in Wewak, Papua New Guinea. Details are in my blog. Here are a few pictures. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishMaid Posted September 13, 2019 #309 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Great photos! It looks somewhat similar to the small river off the Amazon at Santarem where we went fishing for piranhas. Not surprising since both are near the Equator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Btimmer Posted September 14, 2019 Author #314 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I have the photos fixed I believe. I don't know what happened. We had a great day in Madang, PNG. Walked out to the Coastal Watchers Monument, went snorkeling and stood next to the world's most dangerous bird. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcummin Posted September 14, 2019 #318 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Thanks for fixing the photos, Tim. You really had a memorable adventure in wewak, PNG. Madang looks interesting too. Had no idea that cassowaries had such nasty and dangerous temperaments. We were surprised in Exmouth, Australia to find emus strolling the streets, hoping for handouts. They looked fairly gentle from a distance. Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Btimmer Posted September 15, 2019 Author #320 Share Posted September 15, 2019 We had a pleasant treat today at 10am. Our reef pilot suggested that we sail into the Garove caldera for some scenic cruising. The Captain was thrilled to do it as were the passengers! Here are a few photos from today.

Rare Btimmer Posted September 16, 2019 Author #325 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Rabaul: a new day with an ancient as well as a new caldera. The Maasdam from Volcano Observatory hill. The harbor is an ancient large caldera. an ancient caldera (the sea fills it) and a newer caldera in the background. The sand and the water are quite warm from volcanic activity underneath us.
