Seaday #……..
Good Afternoon,Sitting in the Ocean Bar writing another story about another day at sea. Usually it’s myself and another older gentleman who roars in here on his electric scooter and then goes on to quietly reads
his book in the corner by the window. Besides us two there is no one in here till around 4:00 PM.Our bar server Kae usually serves us a glass of ice water. I am officially going to name this spot writers corner. (see pic below)Today I ate way to much lunch. Last week I restarted something from my previous cruise, having fried fish for lunch most days. Generally they have a different fish on the menu every day. Today
I over did it a bit, having too many fish accompanied with chickpeas in Curry sauce. Yesterday afternoon we crossed the Equator for the first time this voyage and we are now officially cruising in the South Pacific. Apparently there is an old tradition to kiss the fish when crossing the equator,  it is said it brings smooth sailing ahead. I didn’t kiss the fish, but instead ate the fish. The sailing has been remarkably smooth since we left Panama. You never know what seas you might encounter by crossing such a large body of water. For the remaining of the afternoon we might take in a few games of trivia. Generally we don’t do very well at them, there are a lot of passengers on board who excel at those type of games. Tonight we took in a show by the ship’s dancers in the theater. After listening to the band in the Rolling Stones Lounge for a few songs, we called’r the night.
