Some people looking at this photograph will not believe that the pink colour is real. Let me assure you, it is real. Nothing was added or changed in this image. These are indeed the colours that were experienced on this voyage. Now, let's discuss a little about the crew on these ships. I have to admire them. I was out on deck looking like Michelin man with only my eyes uncovered. This guy came out to hoist the flag in just a teeshirt. No gloves, jacket or anything. He was out for about 15 minutes looking like he was just taking in the sun on a hot summers day. It was like he didn't feel the cold at all. I was amazed. Thinking about it though, I suppose they know nothing else and have been doing this for quite some time. Tough guys these.
