Sailing away from Madeira
The Winning Housekeeping Team at the Country Fair
We're about halfway across the Atlantic on our voyage to Bermuda.
Today started off as a dreary day. Midmorning the rain was coming down in buckets. There was supposed to be a pizza and pasta event at the Pool Grill but it had to be moved inside. During his noon report the captain said the rain is supposed to continue for the next 24 hours. I’m happy to report that the weather forecast is no more reliable at sea than at home. It has cleared off nicely this afternoon.
After lunch we went to the Country Fair in the Atrium. The various ship’s departments set up booths with games that the passengers play. You win raffle tickets to be put in for drawings for various and sundry prizes. The passengers vote on the Most Fun and Most Creative departments. The Housekeeping staff had set up an obstacle course that you had to run through with an egg on a spoon. The Galley staff had vats of various foods which you had to reach into without benefit of looking and determine the nature of the food. I wound up fondling a big hunk of octopus! The band played on the steps and a good time was had by all! Regent does seem to come up with some novel ideas for getting passenger participation. I think they can do these because there are fewer of us on the ship than on the large vessels.
