365 Project, Day 36
Here is my day thirty-six submission to my 365Project:
We were still quite busy with humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) observations today but, again, they were too distant to get any decent photos. So, although I wasn't sure how it would go I did a quick little photo session around the interior of the ship...and I was pretty happy with this shot of the passageway running from the hospital to the galley and back deck.
Fun fact of the day:
The saying "show a leg" (which is used to encourage people to get up in the morning and hurry along) originated from the Royal Navy. Seamen were not allowed shore leave for fear of desertion so they would take their wives to sea with them. Since their wives were not required for ship's duties they would 'show a leg' (being obviously not a seaman's leg!) to the mate in the morning as he went around checking the beds to ensure all seamen reported to duty.
