Last night we departed from South Korea and have taken the day to cross the Sea of Japan and return to the Japanese island of Honshu tomorrow. Throughout the day we were treated to presentations: Geology by Joe, Japanese Performing Arts by Stefan, and iPhone Editing by Anna.

We had a delicious outdoor BBQ that had a varied menu, from hamburgers to lobster tail. Following, the ship slowly turned and came to a complete stop. Everyone listened closely when our Expedition Leader, Andy, addressed us over the loudspeaker, calling those interested to take a swim in the middle of the Sea of Japan. The day was beautiful, the sea was calm, and the water was warm making for an exceptionally fun experience in the middle of our day at sea.

Sushi teatime capped off an amazing day, and the after dinner showing of Princess Mononoke was the perfect way to end our return sail back to Japan.
