Angie & Gian's Wedding - Part 2
Pool Deck Decorating for 5/1/25 tying the knot ceremony with the Captain and entire ship invited:
The crowds of residents ready to watch it all unfold:
The professional dancers, we have on board ,kicked off the ceramony, with a dance to "Great balls of fire"
The ceremony by the Captain - tying the knot!
I was part of a flash mob with eleven other friends and residents. We had secret practices for weeks leading up to the wedding.
After the flash mob dance finished a Congo line formed with the bride and groom leading all the way up to the pool.
To take the plunge! The Captain and other residents joined in.
I am waiting by the side with towels for the bride and groom.
We partied till 130 a.m. SO MUCH FUN!!
I got to go Sailing Again! We were supposed to head to the COOK ISLANDS after the lovely Rangiroa and the Tuamotu Archipelago, but due to stormy weather there, with all unprotected tender ports, they made the decision to head us southwest, back to the protected port in Papeeta (Tahiti). We got lucky and Holly ( pictured below) found us a sailboat available for charter.
Since Janette Emerich is generous enough to share her drone photos with all of us on board the Ship, I have to share them with you all. This beauty is why I said we felt like we were in a screen saver the whole day in Rangiroa! I love the height perspective in the photos it really captures so much more. Blue Lagoon below:
The water in Rangiroa is so spectacular, I wanted to spend more time drift snorkeling and checking out the area called " The Aquarium ". So today I went back out for a 3 hour session to do 3 drift passes in Tiputa pass and then spent an hour in an area with wonderful healthy corals and tons of fish, earning it the nickname " The Aquarium ".
