March 20, At Sea

Well, Poseidon must have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. The beautiful, smooth seas we have been experiencing have reverted back to normal mid-Atlantic seas of 4-7 feet, and the temperature has dropped into the high 60’s. Put a 14-15 knot wind on top of the 18 knots the ship is making and it’s quite cool on deck.

But not to be deterred, I still did my mile this morning and the 30 minute aerobics class. After all, I have to make sure I am in shape to do the several port days in a row that are coming up. Most of the tours we have set up are all day and are very intensive and we expect to be pretty tired by the time it all ends.

The Decathlon continues with number 7 and 8 today and the final two tomorrow. Neither Sharon nor I are doing well enough gathering points to be in the top three but we are having fun and that’s the whole idea anyway.

Around noon or so (right around the time change, yes we went ahead another hour) the weather did start to get better. The clouds started to go away and the wind abated a little while the temperature managed to get into the low 70’s.

We pretty much vegetated today as Sharon had a slight headache and was quite tired. So when we were not playing the games we sat in the sun reading and just chilling out. But that’s what a vacation is all about, isn’t it??

That’s about it for today, so until tomorrow everyone have a great day!

Cheers!
