Two Days until Bermuda

Sea day. Two more to go until Bermuda. The sea has been rough all day but has started to let up a little this evening. The bridge said we were having waves averaging 18 to 23 feet.

They removed the three crates and two rolling duffels full of junk, from the room, that Bobbi calls needful things. Maybe we will see them again when we get off. Maybe not. We are scheduled to get off at 10:40 AM on the 28th but they are lucky if they are within an hour and a half. My slave is ordering us a van to meet us then, I hope.

We’ve had some very good lectures the last few days. Lou Harris of the Harris polls is doing political stuff. Bill Miller is doing some really interesting stuff about cruise and passenger ships from the earliest to the future. Michelle Cousteau is here. He has Hi Def pictures and is doing stuff about the underwater national parks of the US. There will be Hi Def stuff of his on public TV in the next few months.

Betcha didn’t know there are 13 US underwater national parks covering some vast areas. The last one he did was Hawaii. They filmed a commercial fishing boat doing illegal fishing. They called the Coast Guard who sent a plane and then a cutter to arrest them and confiscate the boat.

He told of some other good stuff like the Japs are on the security committee of whatever international organization sees to it that endangered species are not being fished out. That is exactly like putting the wolf in the hen house. They admit to killing and taking whales but claim it is only for scientific studies. It seems that their studies consist of selling whale on the open market and they are even finding canned whale for sale. The same with other endangered species including Porpoise which they openly net and fish for. Norway also kills and fishes for all of the above.
