At Sea/Exmouth/At Sea

March 10-12
At Sea, Exmouth, At Sea

Not much to write here, the sea days were nothing out of the ordinary, and our day in Exmouth was rather uneventful as well. Exmouth, a port I was hoping to either scuba dive at or at least go swimming, was taken up by a three hour rehearsal for Supremes show. After a boat drill in the morning and our rehearsal at 11:15, it wasn’t 2:15 till I was actually able to do anything, but with us tendering and a crew all aboard time at 3:15, it wasn’t even possible to get off the ship and return in that amount of time. Unfortunately I was therefore only able to see Exmouth from a distance. Instead, I decided to go up to the sun deck with a book and get my fair share of sun for the day. Well, apparently my fair share equals about 45 minutes, as that’s how long I was able to stay up there reading before I just couldn’t take the heat any more. It was nice and all, but I haven’t sweat like that for a long time.
The second sea day, the day I’m actually writing this, is like I said, the usual. The show tonight though is a circus family, or something along those lines. It’s a nice show, but it’s a mother and father with a 10 and 12 year old, both of who are in the show. The 12 year old boy actually does his own juggling act mid way through, which is certainly impressive, but kind of sad at the same time when you think about what a normal 12 year old should be doing. I kind of wonder what he thinks about growing up in the way that he is and what kind of relationship he has with his family. I think it’s an interesting situation, something to think about at least.
Anyways, I have to get back on stage for the second show, tomorrow is Perth and the end of the first half of this circumnavigation of Australia. Seeya!
