Three wonderful days @ sea

Only boring when we want it to be. A typical day has been:

Get dressed
8: Yoga class / Check email and spend a grueling hour in the office, eat breakfast.
9: Tai Chi class
10: Spanish class
11: Bingo / Photoshop class
12: Lunch
1-4: Change clothes, sun bathe, nap, read, crochet, wander, exercise, snack, movie, miscellaneous
lectures, visit jewelry store, etc.
4: Change clothes, tea
4:30 Friends of Bill W meeting
5:30-7:30: Nap, read, crochet, blog, design joist reinforcing, dolphin watching, etc.
7:30-9:30: Change clothes, dinner
9:30 Evening show

As you can see, we have a hectic schedule, and are looking forward to getting home to rest and
relax.

In addition, we’ve managed to fit a few special activities in and around the ship. Margie got
bored swimming laps and dodging little old ladies in the pool, so she tried a larger venue. You
wouldn’t believe how long it takes for this 51,000 ton ship to stop! We also found out the
waterproof case we got for the camera works.

Thursday evening we passed through a section of sea known for a steady strong wind. We
recorded maximum wind speed of 60 knots, with 20' swells. We spent time in our room watching
the waves - occasionally one would break over our window - fascinating!! Attendance was a little
lower at dinner, but we thoroughly enjoyed the show and the rock and roll.

You're a great photographer, Margie. Imagine going to so much trouble just to get a good shot of the ship. Did the Captain thank you for it? - - Dad
