Tuesday, April 11. Blue Sky, lazy swells. 15 C. Home in 30 days.
We have an easy day today, as all sea days are. We slept in a bit, then had a rather hefty breakfast, for me today, Fellette had her usual oatmeal. We then took in two speakers. One was the Port speaker who went over some 10 ports, touching on them briefly, taking us up to Bergen in Norway on April 26. Rapid fire information.
The afternoon was spent with Fellette making Robin’s Egg Blue Pom-Poms for our luggage identifiers when we disembark. There is always some confusion, apprehension and rush involved when 1300 passengers come pouring off the ship and want to claim their luggage. The Pom-Poms might help a bit.
The day after tomorrow, when we are leaving A Coruna, Spain, we sail across the Bay of Biscay between Spain and France, which is about 500 Kilometres across. That is our exact crossing route to France. The North Atlantic Ocean has a clockwise circular motion. That motion mixes with the mass of water in the Bay of Biscay, that cannot rotate as it is basically locked in place on two of its three sides, that is where the turbulence happens. Those conditions can create some very rough weather as we have personally experienced. Then again, it may be a smooth sailing. The Captain gave us a gentle warning of that at noon today.
Our table had a dinner in the Pinnacle Dining Room, a posh restaurant that makes one feel special. We sure felt special, and we six folks that have spent almost 100 days at sea together had a delightful and fun-filled meal that lasted three hours, far longer than we ever would have thought.
A Good Day…
She also made the Pom-Poms that may help identify our bags on disembarkation day.
Delightful three hour dinner tonight.
