SEADAY

Another day at sea. I have developed lately a ritual for filling the sea days. After breakfast I usually retreat to a quiet place on the ship to write the blog. You readers must have noticed, I have been writing 2 days at a time. Before I start on my Blog, I stop at the exploration cafe to to pick up an Americano from Marie the best Coffee lady. After blog time it is gym time followed by a late lunch. We hang out to 4:00 PM (Carol Time) to be ready for happy hour. I always thought happy hour was an American thing, but the Europeans on the ship are adapting very quickly to this custom and they seem to be enjoying it. This evening we all got literature in our room regarding the tighting rules regarding the coronavirus. We don’t had any issues up to this point, but with passengers leaving and new ones coming on board in Buenos Aires, the cruiseline upped their screening process. This morning I happen to look out of my balcony door and seen the largest Killer whale you can imagine breach the water by at least 6 ft high, not ones, but he (she)did it 3 times. (priceless). Tonight we retreated to our cabin after the 8:30 show and be ready for port day tomorrow bright and early.

Happy birthday to Bob Sharpe.

Cheers
