What is a World Cruise?

From today's Navigator-According to the World sailing speed record rules. for the world sailing records, there is a rule saying that the length must be at least 21,600 nm Calculated along the shortest possible track fROm the starting port AND BACK THAT DOES NOT CROSSLAND AND DOES NOT GO BELOW 63 DEGREES S. THE EQUATOR MUST BE CROSSED.

All that being said we are having a great time. We did not get any pictures of the sailway as it was raining and rough seas. That was just the first night and now we having warm and beautiful weather. We had a Greet and Meet with about 70 fellow Crazy Cruiser's members and the Captain showed up to meet us, a very nice man. We are in very capable hands. As you can see we have a hugh selection of food. Today I attended my first Zumba Class, I loved it and Randy and I walked two miles around the ship. We are cruising up the east coast of Australia right next to the Great Barrier Reef. We have five sea days before we get to our first Port of Darwin, Australia.

For the Americans that don't know, Australia is the same size as the United States and has the county population of 22 million the US has 300 million. The US has 52 States and Australia has 6 states. Most of the population is on the East Coast.
