We are now in the wonderful Pacific Ocean, steaming north to Mexico and the San Francisco. We have two days at sea before Acapulco. [1084 miles to the north.] Everybody has really settled in and sleep patterns are normal now. As a matter of fact I for one am so relaxed I have to force myself to do something that requires exertion. I did start my morning exercise routine today, first since leaving home. I have also reverted to a sensible intake of proper foods. I believe most weight gain on a cruise happens in the first few weeks, then when we have satisfied the glutton in us we get back to basics. Well, I am back to basics. I hope to have my weight back to normal by Maui.
Fellette and I took a few laps around the deck this morning and I decided to take some shots of what is visible if you look beyond the scenery, which is all ocean at the moment and see what else is part of shipboard life, but not often noted. Most of it is rather mundane, but essential. The promenade deck is where the crew and passengers would be assembled to take to the boats so all the apparatus has to be ready and in top condition when required. The ship is constantly being painted, it is endless. Even the mahogany railings are taken off and refinished, being replace by one fresh from the carpenters shop, all shiny again.
Not very interesting I am afraid, but such is life on a sea day.
So, a walk around the deck on MV Arcadia...
