This is a Very, Very Big Ocean...

Wednesday, January 14. Some cloud. 25 C.

We both had a solid nine hour sleep, unusual for both of us, but nice to have. We are heading almost due south now and we have four more days of nothing but ocean before we get to Pago Pago, American Samoa. Looking at my Blow Up Globe is is farther from Maui to American Samoa than is is from San Diego to Maui. So, we have five days at sea before we get to American Samoa, four more sea days to go.

The temperature is climbing as we venture south, however the ocean has a method of cooling things down and the ship creates a strong breeze in just ploughing along at about 18 knots or about 20.7 miles per hour. It is impossible to sit outside on our balcony, in the direct sun, there is no breeze at all there. It is great in the morning as the sun comes up, that will no doubt change our heading through the trip.

We found out today that our Toyota Tacoma is a write off, sad to say, but maybe it was time for something else anyway.

Tonight is a Formal Night on the ship. We hope to go to the dining room at least. Methinks my coughing, that seems to be activated when in close proximity to people, will not be activated. [I kid you not, do you think I could be Allergic to people???] Seriously, this only happens when I am at the tail end of a cold, as now

A Good Day, The Best so Far.

'Throw-up-bags' abound this morning, apparently last night was a bit bumpy

We went for a deck walk this morning, and again after lunch

Not many walkers yet.

Looking North to Hawaii!

A Computer Station where you can download and the print, but from the internet, not from your own device. 

Nasty rain over there, the ship will deviate wildly to avoid a rain storm like that.
