Holland America then had 5 sea days (April 17th - 21st) as we sailed up
to Hawaii.
The Ship crossed the Equator on the 18th - the Captain kissed a fish to bless it, and then everybody who wanted to swim across the Equator, jumped in the pool, and lots jumped.
During the sea days, there were two or three
lecturers in the Vista Theater. One of
them was an Astronomer, dealing with space and the galaxies.
The Astronomer's lectures were full, and he also held a star gazing night on the Ship.
April 20th was Gala night..... .
I had
jumbo shrimp cocktail, chicken and orzo soup, two lobster tails, almond
orange cake, and a Groschl beer.
