Gulf of Tonkin

At sea through the Highland Straits into the Gulf of Tonkin. We had to get special permission to go through the Highland Straits. It must have been shallow as there were many buoy markers. There were also continuous floats holding fish nets. The waters appeared strange. There was just a slight ripple but every so often you would see an up welling of waters even though we were way too far from land for it to be sewers empting. It was very foggy or maybe it was smog, all day.

Tonight was Lynn’s birthday party. Muriel was still sick and they could not come. Lynn had rented the closed side of the Veranda restaurant and had a table of about 14. We were the only ones in the restaurant. As usual, the food was outstanding and they made a sugar free birthday cake that could not be told from real. The wait staff was great also. We had a good time.

Good Time Sherm Out
