Fan-tastic – Go Cards!
In Prospect last Friday evening, before and during the University of Louisville game against Oregon, fans gathered for dinner and to cheer the team on at J. Harrod’s (also jokingly known as the Republican Country Club). That evening, proprietor Mike Francis had his hands full as he was up against a real triple-threat competitive challenge.
Sailing Toward Home
Well, this week of our Seven Seas Mariner South American adventure started off with even more excitement than usual.
Further Down The Amazon
It has been five days since the Seven Seas Mariner entered the 200-mile-wide mouth of the Amazon River.
Sailing The Amazing Amazon
Being on a Regent ship is like being a princess in a fairy tale. Your every wish is their command. Food, drink, entertainment, shopping, spa treatments, concerts, lectures, bridge – whatever you want – is provided by the staff, with a smile. All of the wait-staff in four dining rooms greet you by name and a smile each time they see you.
Each Day Hotter Than The Last
It has been more than 50 days since we left Miami on our “Circle South America Grand Voyage” on Regent’s Seven Seas Mariner.

We are still happily sailing along the Eastern coast of South America on the Seven Seas Mariner
The Bottom Of The World
Off the coast of southern Chile we – the members of the Seven Seas Society (Regent’s Frequent Floating Club) – were up early to get a special close-up view of the Amalia Glacier from the prow of the ship. Well, the weather was rainy and dreary so we sat inside the big Horizon lounge drinking mulled wine ‘til we got to the glacier. It is a beautiful sky blue.
Sailing, Sailing, Over The Bounding South Pacific
On the Seven Seas Mariner we sailed into Salaverry, the port city for Trujillo, Peru.
