Monday April 20th second sea day
Another fast day to say the least. We started the day with some
mildly rough seas and grey skies. As the day progressed the
sky cleared and the sea became calm. Tonight for the last hour
or so we are rocking pretty well. I don’t think that it is even as
bad as last year. It is now about 1030pm and before bed we
have to change the clock ahead another hour.
This cruise the captain is not as talkative as last year. In fact, we
have not heard from him at all. So we are not getting the little
trivia updates like last year. Kind of miss that a bit. We have
now traveled 1137 miles about half way to our first stop in the
Azores (1197 to go). Waves are at about 9 feet right now and
we have a nice steady rock.
Today we had breakfast with 2 sisters that are traveling together
from California. Then it was off to the spa for some relaxation in
the hydrotherapy pool. I planted myself on a heated stone bed
for about an hour and a half and finished my book. We had
lunch at the buffateria and tried to sit out by the pool for a while.
The sun was warm but the wind as a bit too chilly.
After a nap we went back to the spa for a little more time in the
hydrotherapy pool. We then meet for a cocktail in the bliss ultra
lounge before diner.
We once again ate at the magenta. It was lobster night. We
started with ginger pumpkin seafood bisque. We each had a
lobster tail and grouper diner. We split a beef wellington since
we had never had that before. Desert was a honey cream
brulee, it was the best I have ever had.
Tonight the show was a singer known as the chocolate goddess
of love, Jane Powel. She is a jazz/blues singer. www.
JaneLPowell.com We enjoyed the show very much. She did say
that in 20 years of doing shows on cruise ships that this is the
first time she ever got sea sick…..HMMM.
We are finally a little further south in the ocean, about even with
Baltimore. There is a little more warmth in the air now. We are
sailing with our balcony door open. The side to side rock is a bit
faster now. I will take a pill to be on the safe side. Chris wants
on too!!!! Ought oh!!!! May be the extra desert and after shoe
ice cream cone is getting to him.
