<div>HELGA'S DIARY ON A CRUISE SHIP



DEAR DIARY - DAY 1
All packed for the cruise ship -- all my nicest dresses, swimsuits, and short sets.

Really, really exciting. Our local Red Hat chapter - The Late Bloomers - decided on this "all-girls" trip. It will be my first one - and I can't wait!


----------------------------------------------------

DEAR DIARY - DAY 2
Entire day at sea, beautiful. Saw whales and dolphins.

Met the Captain today -- seems like a very nice man.


----------------------------------------------------


DEAR DIARY - DAY 3
At the pool today. Did some shuffleboard, hit golf balls off the deck.

</div>

<div>
<div>Captain invited me to join him at his table for dinner. Felt honored and had a wonderful time. He is very attractive and attentive.


---------------------------------------------------


DEAR DIARY - DAY 4
Won $800.00 in the ship's casino. Captain asked me to have dinner with him in his own cabin. Had a scrumptious meal complete with caviar and champagne.
</div>
</div>

<div>
<div>He asked me to stay the night, but I declined. Told him I could not be unfaithful to my husband.


----------------------------------------------------

DEAR DIARY - DAY 5
Pool again today. Got sunburned, and I went inside to drink at piano-bar, stayed there for rest of day. Captain saw me, bought me several large drinks.

Really is quite charming. Again asked me to visit his cabin for the night.
</div>
</div>

<div>
<div>Again I declined.
</div>
</div>

<div>
<div>He told me that if I did not let him have his way with me, he would sink the ship... I was shocked.

----------------------------------------------------

DEAR DIARY - DAY 6
Today I saved 2600 lives.
