Thursday, January 26. 27 C. Calm seas and blue sky.
We are chugging along 13 knots, [slow], like there is no hurry, which there isn’t! We both have colds and are trying very hard not to spread it, we really are. I am sitting here at my desk trying to write a blog, but it is hard when all we have done today is eat and walk. I attended two lectures and Fellette one, me sitting at the very top at the back so I can escape if my pill wears off or I cough or need to use a Kleenex. I seem to be able to sleep fine. Last night I woke up at 2:00, took another pill and zonked out for another four hours. It is the first cold that Fellette and I have had in three years! Good place to get it though, on sea days.
There is lots to keep people interested during these sea days. The Bridge Class people are happy, exercise classes, stretch classes, Tai Chi, Mass, How to paint with watercolour, Learn to fold Origami, Sit, Knit Needlework, Pickleball, Bingo, Team Trivia, Creative Writing classes, Mah Jong, Scrabble, Arts and Crafts, Dancing.
We cross the International Dateline tonight at 2:00 AM, which means nothing at all except that our clocks go back one more hour and we lose a day, but we make up that lost day one hour at a time, every time we move the clock back during the remainder of the voyage.
So, tomorrow we will then be three hours behind Pacific Coast Time, but, a day AHEAD, so, we will be 21 hours ahead of Pacific Coast Time. Got it? Good.
At least that is what I think might happen, I could be wrong though. I will let you know.
A Good Lazy Day…
Fellette waiting for this old Sicko to catch up on our morning walk.
