25 Oct 2013 Star Flyer At sea heading for Las Palmas

Our fourth day at sea without any hint of land. We are heading due south for Las Palmas with the four square and 9 of the 16 sakes up. The sea has quieted substantially so we have just a gentle roll. We arrive at Las Palmas around 7 pm tonight and most are planning to test their ability to navigate on land again. We leave for our excursion “Las Palmas & Bandera Crater” tomorrow at 8:30 am. About 21 passengers will disembark and about 15 new passengers will come aboard.

Today’s talks:
0930 Peter on ship’s position, weather, and events on this day in history
1015 Dr. Tyler Nordgren on the Milky Was, light pollution, and dark sky legislation and designation
1500 Dr Viktor Kuzenavos “Botanic gardens & Lake Baikal”
