'oh what a beautiful mornin'.. oh what a beautiful day' .. colorful early morning before sunrise skies turned into flat seas.. blue skies..calm winds.. the way it should be on this Atlantic crossing heading to Casablanca with arrival tomorrow-Wednesday- morning.. a later than normal sunrise so I passed on it as we headed to the Pinnacle for breakfast.. outside on the Lido Deck aft with Nancy.. Mel.. Howie and Phyllis
the Captain advised in his daily announcement that the weather would worsen overnite as we left Punta Delgada yesterday afternoon.. 50+ knot winds with 15 to 18 foot seas.. he was right on .. it began at dinner time and thru the nite.. a bumpy ride all nite.. as he also stated it would clear up today with calmer seas and lighter winds.. sunny all day 70* and back to normal- soooooooo good.. we have 1 more sea day tomorrow before arriving in our next port of call- Casablanca, Morocco- on Wednesday.. we have been there a number of times in the past... dinner in the dining room followed by Music Trivia in the Crow's Nest at 7pm-- our team of Mel.. Nancy.. Frankie D.. Linda ..Pat and I won the 'Elvis Music Trivia' 😇🥰🤩
with the overnite stay in Punta Delgada I awoke to rain at 430am on this early Sunday morning.. what a crossing weather-wise -ugh.. of the 17 Atlantic crossings over the years of cruising for us this one has been the not so good one with the weather.. I guess we just got spoiled over the years with the nice sunny warm weather and flat seas..
with the rain stopped it was up to the Lido Deck-aft at 545am for some early morning before sunrise nitetime pics overlooking the town.. NO Sunrise once again.. or is it just 'CONCEPTS OF A SUNRISE' .. hahahaha.. did I just say that- you betcha I did..
having been here a few times in the past at 10am we got off the ship with our friends and walked the downtown.. quiet on this Sunday morning .. a lot of shops closed until 11am.. dodged a couple of super-quick 2 minute rain squalls.. back onboard by noon
