Day 3--at Sea-- a SPECIAL day

Happy 45th Wedding Anniversary to us-- onboard the Veendam doing what we like to do best.. cruising.. Asst Dining Room Manager Vincent and the staff in the Dining Room celebrated with us making a special Anniversary Cake.. very very nice.. thank you Vincent-- who we know for over 15 years.. super gentleman  :)

an early morning-- earlier than usual as the ship's clocks jumped ahead 1 hour in a time zone change..  a windy morning up on the Sky Deck-forward .. nice Sunrise..  after a small breakfast  we went out on the Lido Deck-aft for some' rays' for the next few hours.. just catching up on some Kindle reading.. not many people take to the deck --this is not a Caribbean cruise..  just before lunch the Captain came on the air with his daily General announcement-- that we would be diverting to Bermuda 150 miles NNE of us for a Medical Emergency Evacuation  onboard.. should arrive by 915pm and be back on track to the Azores by midnite.. not sure if this will affect our first port Horta.. but having been there a couple of times in the past no big deal..

UPDATE--- arrival Bermuda 9pm...  Pilot-Rescue boat alongside to pick up the Medical Evac.. back on course by 1130pm
