Seaday 5

Seaday 5
We are more than half way. We passed that mark yesterday, as i write this the day after, with so much as a "hoorah". It was just a position on a map. We arrive in Malaga at 8:00am so i started doing some math and realized we would pass through the Straits of Gibraltar at night. A visit to customer service who talked with the bridge confirmed my suspicion. Now what? Stay tuned for further
developments.
Yesterday was largely uneventful. We read quite a bit. We did play the "Giant Tower". A jengo game with pieces many times larger. We had 15 people all taking turns making a 3 foot high tower larger by removing pieces from the bottom. An additional problem was the rolling of the boat. Very entertaining!
I did loose control yesterday as well. I am trying to be good with consumption of fruits and salads for lunch and breakfast. However, lunch offered Key Lime Cheesecake. I faultered and consumed a very large piece. I am not ashamed. though it may not look like it i am mortal like everyone else!
Last night we were told to set our clocks ahead one hour. This morning the ship's clock remains an hour behind if one set one's clock forward. It really doesn't matter what time it is so long as i pass by the dining room at half past the hour from 4 to 6 and sit down when it is my turn. We are on the early service which sits at 5:30pm. whatever time!
I have been thinking about this time thing ever since the first time change. We really don't need to change until we reach land. The ship may as they are in contact with the outside world but for us passengers anytime is good so long as we aren't late for dinner. More on that later.
Our main course last night was several selections as usual, but my choice was the Filet Mignon. mmmmm! Not that i make a big deal of it but my table mate received a larer piece. I am not one to point this out so i kept silent but i will watch his plate from now on!
Today (Seaday6) we pass over the mid-Atlantic ridge. Remain seated it is not a big deal.
