We’re on our 6th sea day with another three after
today. The weather for the last
few days has been quite nice with moderate seas and comfortable
temperatures. There have been a
few passing showers but they are quickly over. This morning while he was dressing Al looked out and a
deluge fell for a moment and then a beautiful rainbow came out
We still haven’t seen another ship. A couple of days ago there were some
seagulls around which we all found odd since we’re so far from land. We have seen lots of flying fish while
sitting on our verandah. As I
mentioned in my last post we have a routine that mainly involves eating. Next week there will a rude awakening!
Our trivia team continues to maintain its relative position
near the bottom. We seem to be
having much more fun though than other teams and that’s what counts. Yesterday one of our group arranged a
Ladies’ Lunch in the main dining room.
The guys had to fend for themselves. We had champagne with strawberries and a nice conversation. Last night was one of the most fun
things they do on Seabourn cruises, “Rock the Boat.” The band and singers play lots of older rock tunes next to the pool after dinner and many of the passengers get up and dance
the night away. Even Al got up and
danced.
Two nights ago there was a star-gazing event up on the top
deck forward. The captain turned
off most of the lights and one of the guest lecturers, a retired NASA engineer,
pointed out various stars and constellations. Out here in the middle of the ocean with no ambient light it
is incredible how many stars you can see.
It would have been even better if the moon wasn’t at the half moon stage
so it cast quite a bit of light.
Well, soon it will be time for trivia. This afternoon late we’re having a
cocktail party for friends and I think the Captain is coming. It should be fun. More later.
I forgot to mention we keep changing time, going back an hour for the last couple of nights. I think we're now just one hour ahead of EDT. Tonight I think we have our last change. The 25 hour days are nice, but soon we'll be waking up at 5 in the morning. I can't complain though.

You should ask the crew about the seagulls
The crew were also surprised to see the gulls. Perhaps they've been stowaways.
Hi Ann,
It is a rude awakening to come home, but nice none the less nice. Can't wait to see you two and compare notes. And tell you our news about the " World Cruise" we booked.
Hugs Cyndi
