Rocking and Rolling...

 

Internet at sea! I published the Blog last night, but it did not go and did not  advise me till this morning!

Sunday, February 22. Sunny. Rough Sea. 17 C.

Things are interesting to say the least. The ocean is presenting a few issues as we rounded the SE coast of Australia the last several hours. This is caused by a combination of winds and currents presenting the captain with a few problems to prevent his ship load of elderly and fragile passengers from all ending up in the ship's hospital with an overwhelming mix of injuries.

We have popped outside a couple of times. The top deck by the pool is amazingly quite pleasant, the roof is closed so the temperature has risen to a comfortable enough situation that Sun Worshipers can get their dose of the sun. It is very, very awkward to walk around the ship, and also dangerous.

I am making some progress on solving my boredom problem. I have found a way to work on The Picture Book that I make of any significant trips that we go on, [starting in about 2004], prior to that they were albums with attached photos of the trips, that Fellette made. Those albums are in the basement at home. I have thought about having those albums digitized and made into a more easily readable form. I think that that could be a project that I should consider doing!

This afternoon we had a 'Root Beer Float' put on by our travel agent that allowed us to mix and mingle whilst sitting down during the bumpy ride we are having. It was a very enjoyable break for a Rough Sea day.

A Very Easy But Bumpy Day.

A small bit of crockery lost in the Neptune Lounge while I was there today.

Root Beer Floats, wow, how many decades since we have had one of these?

This is a 'Coral Spawn', it stretched for a huge distance across the ocean. I suppose that is a healthy sign!
