Day 5...day at Sea

our 2nd day at sea since leaving St Maarten..  wildlife so far ...flying fish and 1 lone Gannet bird who stayed with us all day long  ....  we're well south of the 'normal' shipping lanes on a heading of 75* ENE to get to the Canaries..still flat smooth seas with light winds...  the Captain announced there is a tropical depression about 500 miles east of us and hopefully shouldn't affect our course.. a pretty day today..plenty of sun...saw one Whale...some of the crew had a special Sea-Rescue certification class at the Seaview pool this morning

got an invite tonite's formal dinner at the Hotel Manager's table

Day 4.. day at sea

Day 3... St Maarten--a big day

Day 2 ..a quiet day at sea

another QUIET Day at Sea... Sunrise behind a dark cloud.. then one of three 5-10 minute rain squalls today produced the best Rainbow so far.. a double at 8am..  went to the 8pm show.. a comedian Jeff Niese.. pretty funny guy.. awaiting 'midnite boofay' as I  first went back to the cabin trying to find out the problem with my older netbook laptop and why it got a hiccup charging this afternoon..okay now though.. shoulda bought the new one like i intended to at Costco last week..oh well

Day 1 at Sea

up early as I usually am as we start our journey heading southeast toward St Martin..arrival on Monday 10/22...a pretty sunny day  as we dodged a few rain squalls  that gave us a couple of rainbows off in the distance..we relaxed out on the back of the Navigation deck with Jan and Ruth..first formal nite then off to the show...to see a Motown singing group..a short trip to the casino afterwards.. a few cookies
