These two birds were on patrol together. All a sudden the one on the right did a dive into the ocean. He must have been hot and wanted to cool off. Turns out he was pretty eager to win the game. Success! He kissed a fish! Wait a minute, he's not playing fair. He's eating the other team! With his tail feathers still draggin in the ocean that fish was done like dinner. Eager to be the best on his team, the bird went back on patrol skimming the ocean.

While the crew vs. guest volleyball game was playing out on deck 11, the bird vs. fish game was playing out in the Pacific Ocean. The object of today's game was for the birds to kiss a fish. Team fish today consisted of the flying fish team. These little guys: Fish win the game when they make it back into the ocean without being kissed by a bird.

Captain's noon address. 3,543 nm traveled so far. The winds we experienced the other night were a weather phenomenon from the Chivela Pass. I never felt any ship movement but I did hear the cabin groaning in the night from where the walls meet the ceiling and such. Apparently some guests felt a little motion and asked the Captain why. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chivela_Pass "In extreme circumstances during the winter, truly cold, dense, air occasionally flows from the Bay of Campeche in the Gulf of Mexico through the Chivela Pass into the Gulf of Tehuantepec on the Pacific side. These winds can be strong enough to sandblast paint off ships in near-coastal waters." We didn't get those type of extreme winds but the increased wind we had was the same phenomenon as we sailed across the Gulf of Tehuantepec on our way to Huatulco.
