Ko Kood, Thailand


This was the stop that wasn’t.  We got rained out!!  Our beach and BBQ day got scrubbed on account of heavy rain that started right after all the food and supplies had been delivered to the beach and didn’t stop until after 1pm.  Everything was soaking wet.

In the pouring rain, the crew retrieved the food and managed to feed the entire ship’s population in a relatively short time.  We were all disappointed when the announcement came that there was no chance of going ashore.  I was ready to get a massage on the beach – one hour for $30!!  I had my money ready and I was ready to go. 

Instead of a day off and a beach day to boot, we wound up working.  My head was at the beach because whoever showed up in my body played a lousy game of bridge.
