Today was an ‘At Sea’ day. After breakfast we went to a talk about our day trip onto Nuka Hiva tomorrow, so we know what to expect. Then we relaxed and chatted with a few other English speaking passengers before having lunch at 12. At 2 pm our group met on the bridge, as Chris had arranged for the Captain to give us a tour and answer questions. The Captain was French, age 33, married with a young baby, and had been in his role on the Aranui5 for two years. He works two months then has two months off, as do many of his crew. We were with him almost an hour. His uniform was a white golf shirt with the captains bars visible on his chest, and shorts - not what we expected. There was a lecture, a Tahiti dance class and a Ukulele class also scheduled but we gave them a miss. We are meeting the group for happy hour and Chris is going to talk about Migration in Oceania before we have dinner.
