Tuesday August 20 – At Sea

 We are sailing in the southern Pacific Ocean on a latitude the same as Caloundra.  The day is warm with clear blue skies and calm seas.  I believe it is not so calm in Eastern Australia, with 100 km per hour winds. 

I watched the movie, The Catcher Was a Spy.  A most interesting story based on fact.  The catcher was an American baseball player, Mo Berg, who was sent to kill Heisenberg because the Americans believed he was making a bomb for the Nazis during the second world war.

Tonight we had an Elton John tribute by Greg Andrew.  He did not have Elton’s voice but he was a great piano player and wore the glasses and a coat modeled on that worn by Elton.  He had a good likeness to his idol and told a story of how he was performing in one area of Norway while Elton John was performing in another area of the same country.  The press got it wrong and had a picture of him in the papers, purporting him to be the real thing.
