The weather has turned warm
and the sun was shinning this morning. We are on the port side of
the ship and since we are heading south it means that we have the
land mass to the east of us. I tried to get a sunrise photo this
morning but we had turned due east as we approached Cabo. The sun
was directly ahead of the ship but a cloud bank covered the sunrise
until for about 30 minutes. No photo there. The morning program of
activities was very light with the 4 things that we were interested
in all running concurrently. I hope that in the future there is
better spacing of activities.

| The Arch |
The day was very warm with just
some high clouds in the blue sky. As we approached Cabo we rounded
the tip of southern California. The arch and all the outliers (rocks
in the water) made for some good photo taking. The sun was in the
right place as well. We arrived about an hour early and had to wait
before we headed ashore. This is a tender port and it took awhile to
get ashore as a “wandered” as they take all the scheduled tours
first.

| Golden Princess At Anchor |
The visit to Cabo was quite
pleasant. It has changed plenty since we were here 11 years ago. The
marina seemed to be much bigger than we remembered. We followed the
marina around and then headed down the beach. The sand is quite
different from what we see in Florida. You sank into it as you took
a step. It did not support like the fine sands at Clearwater. After
a very nice walk we arrived at the bar that we were in years ago.

| A Safe New Bar - Only One |
The last time we were there we
arrived in the morning and it was pretty calm. This time it was mid
afternoon and the party had started. We watched the beer guzzling
contest which was followed by a conga line. Anyone who got in the
line got a free shot. After we left they had a shake your booty
contest. By then we had wandered back to the main part of the city
and found a nice quiet bar right on the marina. Having walked a bit
from the tender port, this bar was not packed with the people from
the ship. We did have a Margarita (one only – no mescal this time
– we asked!) and some tortilla chips. It was a pleasant afternoon.
More wandering followed as we made our back to the tender area. It
was packed as a Holland America ship has also arrived while we were
in port.

| Sunset Over The Rocks |
We sailed after sunset. The
sky was really beautiful with the reds being very vivid. We watched
a tango demo in the Atrium before dinner. The couple were the same
that were on the ship last January.
They are very good and will be
teaching tango during this cruise again. Dinner was pleasant again.
We only had 6 at the table. There is still 2 either missing from the
table. Usually tables of 8 are all subscribed. We tried to go to
the late show but cut out early. It seems that by the end of the
evening we are tired. I wonder why!
