This is the warmest day of the Med cruise to date. High temp was 84 degrees. Of course we are anchored offshore of Al Iksandria (Egyptian spelling) Egypt where there is a nice light NNW breeze.I am sure it is over 90 ashore this afternoon. A/C is working well on the bridge. I hope to call from the Dock. Last word was berthing 6-28 @ 2200. Now it is 1600 6-27. We’ll see. Warmly> Your Eastern Correspondent> RW

Hi Fellas: There are times when I include several friends in an e-mail address. They are done intentionally. They are not “just for Johanna”. My access to e-mail computer is limited. Therefore, I choose to at least stay in touch by including several people in e-mail address box. ALL my e-mails will be strictly vanilla. There is a ship full of people with access, then it goes thru server, then NY office etc. You will never see anything other than vanilla- rest assured. We are experiencing a delay here. We are anchored off Alexandria, Egypt.
It is now 1100 on 6/27. We are told berthing will be 2200 6/28 quite a delay! You never know in this part of the world. Last time on the Argonaut we anchored twice off Kuwait expecting a long delay and BOTH times we were sailing toward the dock in 2 hours- go figure. Your Eastern Correspondent> Ron
