Day 20 at Sea, January 24
One day at sea is like another. Restful. Lots of time for writing and preparing for my class. Lots of people watching. Did I tell you about the high numbers of severely disabled people on board and elderly folks. A man died—only 59. Very sad. I only know because of Doc. Imagine, a boat load of people over 80 and a man that young… There are several here with MS or some such degenerative disease. More wheelchairs, walkers, canes than you can imagine.
One of the things that amazes me is how we can sail for days without seeing another ship or land. We are truly out there and the water is the bluest blue. We eat amazing meals and see a show each night and then stop by the piano bar to enjoy a get a chocolate coin every night on our turned down beds.
I guess you could call life at sea decadent. J
Day 21 at Sea, January 25
Every day, someone changes the carpet in the elevator to reflect what day it is. We really need that reminder because days flow into each other and it’s easy to forget. There are so many little things that make cruising such a pleasure. I have a cold so I’m not an especially happy camper. Too many people coughing and not covering their mouths. I sit out on Lido deck every day—it’s open and the pool is here along with the large Lido restaurant which is a buffet. I take a dip whenever I get too warm. A wonderful breeze has been blowing . I am tanning, though I don’t sit in the sun.
