A Strange Phenomenon - the migratory Smithus Genus

---

20th March At Sea between Wellington and Apia, Samoa



I don't normally publish blogs whilst we are at sea.

However a strange phenomenon occurred on the morning of the 20th March On sea days to get our brains working by trying to do a quiz i.e Trivia



Now, you may remember if you follow this blog that, there were we thought 'Tears in Akaroa.



You may recall that we left our friends J & J on the quayside waving us goodbye.



The picture shows Mr & Mrs Smith.



The natural habitat at this time of year we thought was the suburbs of Christchurch.

But it seems they are a migratory family, Smithus Frederickus Jonus is led to flights of fancy and with a whim takes the female of the species Smithus Jackius on journeys around the world.



These pairings are gregarious and turn up in the most odd places.

The male, Smithus Frederickus Jonus was found would you believe on Deck 4 early morning the day after we sailed from Wellington. His mate was later found giggling away in a corner seat in the Golden Lion Pub.

Apparently the genus Smithus are avid Trivia fans and during their migration to the Northern Hemisphere indulge in a number of quizzes on board ships.



Well it was a surprise, shock to meet John on deck 4 that morning



Enough said, the Smiths are on board!!!
