Tropic of CancerFourth day out from San Francisco, we have just crossed the parallel of latitude known as the tropic of Cancer. This means we are now in the “tropics.” The temperature has warmed to 72 degrees. The sea is still quite lumpy, but we are adjusting.
We have had two formal evenings - with the Cunard Ball last night in the Queen’s room. Dancing to a full orchestra is delightful. Jean and I have joined a pick-up choir (the Soundwaves) which will perform on the 27th of February in the theater, backing-up the acting group on the ship. Today we learned our parts for “Master of the House.” We have a rehearsal schedule covering the next few weeks. Yesterday, we played our first game of duplicate bridge in 20 years.
We have been attending lectures on the ports we will be visiting, as well as lectures by an anthropologist on the peoples and events of the Pacific. Today, the focus was on Hawaii and then World War II - all appropriate for our visit to Honolulu tomorrow. No problem with currency for this port.
