This morning we had a “Pirate Drill”  and a port lecture on Male (Maldive Islands).

This afternoon another outstanding lecture by Dr. Leavell on early European exploration

to Asia. I finally managed a little reading. Of course, I’m doing a lot of walking early in

the morning and short walks after meals. I only got started on morning walks today

because I have been getting up VERY early (4:30 AM) to watch Masters. I was very

happy they not only had it on ship’s ESPN but that satellite didn’t go down.
