Again another tender port. We arrive about 6:30. By 8:00 the tenders are ready to take passengers ashore. We have made no plans for the day and decide to remain on the ship.
The coast reminds me of Europe. Steep slopes with stacked houses.
The seas are almost like glass. The skies cloudless. When we arrive the air temperature is in the high 50's. By noon we warm to the low 70's. Another georgeous day. Many passengers go ashore, probably 750 stay on the ship. The pools have a few takers, mostly young children.
Four lifeboats are used today to shuttle a steady stream of passengers ashore. There was only a small handful of tours available, so shopping, beaches, and drinking will be the predominant activity.
There are a number of dolphin pods nearby, unfortunatelyy too distant and too fleeting for pictures, but it is neat to watch them circle the fish, concentrating the numbers to make lunch easier. Then the gulls descend en mass to feast on the scraps.
It is getting near the end of the cruise. Transportation from the port to the airport is confirmed. Luggage tags are delivered to the cabin. This morning was our last opportunity for laundry.
Tonight's headliner is a singer named Savannah Smith. A regular in vegas she is very high energy and very good.
The seas remain calm as we head to Ensenada, Mexico. Our last port of call before returning to San Diego.
