Yesterday's weather was beautiful. The water turned amazing shades of blue. Here's Charis on our room's balcony and playing cards with some of the other "dependent children" teens. Charis also had a great time at the Hula demonstration last night. Sherrie is from Hawaii and is onboard with her husband Scott until we reach Hawaii. She is a Hula expert and her presentation last night was terrific. She and Scott will come to both of my classes: in the World Theatre Performance Techniques class they will talk about Hula and other types of performances found in Hawaii. And in my voice class, they are going to teach us traditional and contemporary Hawaiian chants.
The boys learned to finger-knit yesterday: a huge group of college students and kids got together to create hand-knit necklaces for a charity project. Barek and Asher liked it so much they brought some yarn back to the room and have continued to do more knitting!
The ship is still swaying back and forth quite a bit, although last night was a little better. Evidently we have gone 300 miles out of our way to miss a huge storm in the Pacific, but are still feeling the swells produced by the storm. Several crew members have said that if we would go faster, we would not rock like we are. No motion sickness for any of us, but we are really looking forward to the ship becoming more stable.
