Fun morning sailing with this group! Seated in the back bay is John & Lori, Diane, Holly & Gary, with myself, Bosco, Sherrie, Scott, Cathy & Joanne in the front. Note the Odyssey in the background. This Catamaran was called Coral Cats and Holly made arrangements, the crew was super!
It was super comfy for the 11 of us to lounge on bean bag chairs and they kept the champagne cold and the glasses full. We snorkeled around MalaMala Beach Island for about an hour midway through the sail. Not great wind for sailing but still a fun ride.

I joined in with 49 other Ship Residents to attend an event the next day at The Vietnam War Remnants Museum also known as The Museum for Peace. This was put together by our residents as part of our ongoing efforts with the Ship's Odyssey Rotary Club and our Global Flagship of Peace initiative.
HO CHI MING CITY or SAIGON was our last port in Vietnam . The downtown area was an hour away from the Port , so most of us got Hotel rooms in town, as prices were so reasonable. Sadly, it was a rainy four days, but that kept temperatures moderate and we could still get out and do most things. We stayed in district #1 as most of the City highlights are in this area along with the nightlife. Traffic is very busy in the City, especially motorbikes. Crossing the streets needs to be done with intent and quickly as there are very few traffic lights or stop signs.
It's never a dull Sea Day on the Odyssey! We have such creative residents, that are always coming up with new ideas to entertain ourselves and have a good time. This plot was the calculating of Eddie and Michelle - a Game of Clue! The rules were simple - find the party venue at 8:30 pm, come dressed as a character, weapon or room from the game and solve the mystery of who stole the Ship's bell.
