There was an evening for the circumnavigators on the forward deck (Those doing the full 72 days) and it was all set up with this magnificent ice carving of Christ with outstretched arms that is situated on the mountain overlooking Rio. Have a look at what happened, Tony was right alongside at the time. Luckily no one was injured, only some beautiful food and hundreds of plates!
Now you see the beautiful food and ice carving.
Now you see the disaster when the ice carving toppled onto the food, plates etc.

Tony and Gloria acting up as in "the Titanic"!!!!
Wed. 22nd Feb. in Parati (pronounced parachee)
Last night we sailed exactly 28 miles to reach Parati in fact all he did was sail around in circles, seems like a waste of fuel. Today we did a schooner ride around some of the many islands in this area. Tony enjoyed it because it gave him some swimming practise in this clear warm blue water. Very nice, Gloria wasn't so happy the schooner didn't want to stop rocking and she wasn't into swimming!
The type of schooner we were on. Oh bugger how did this photo below get on here!!!!!!!!!!
Oh this was nice!!!
Al looks great, particulalry teh widelife! Didnt realise dads swimming had got to the point where he needed a noddle??? Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteOoooh whoops, camera shot put in by mistake, bahaha!!! Looks and sounds like ur having a ball, best ever trip I think you've had together!
ReplyDeleteProb not great idea to have ice sculpture on buffet with such high temps. Lovely looking fellow travellers. Great vista surrounding the schooners. Can we expect a similar photo of Gloria in her bathers? ;)
