Seaday 3


The above shows you how much time we have on our hands. Towel Art!!!!

Currently at 32.56N, 54.29W, Course 75degrees at 17.9kts, Sea Depth 18310ft. Cruise distance 1431 nm. Swimming home not an option!
Seaday 3 was a very busy day!
Firstly, we left the Bermuda triangle. Possibly, we left earlier but i just thought of it now. We did not experience any supernatural moments. No mysterious mists, time fluctuations, alien sightings or anal probings. I believe the "Triangle" musings to be myths... now.
Weather was calm, sunny and breezy, temps in 70's and winds around 20mph. Makes walking on the track a lot farther.Our day usually starts with in-room coffee then breakfast in the Sun and sea buffet then back to room then whatever. Yesterday we followed this routine and the whatever became the aft pool area for
some reading time. As i walked past the bar area where people sat with breakfast plates, a gentleman said, "don"? I had no idea who he was but he know me, further saying,"I am from Traverse City"! Turns out he is Tom Stoppel(name correction to follow when i get a proper spelling) who recognized me from the Old Town Playhouse. I won't go into his thoughts on my performances but he loves the playhouse and Traverse City. He retired as the Regional director of the Boy Scouts. His wife, Georgia, was just as excited when she
arrived. Tom and Georgia have sold their Tc home and are moving to Iowa to get closer to family. Go figure! They promise to return to TC for "Les Miz".
We walk the stairs as much as possible and walk, walk, walk. Too much food and to little self-control.
Last night I attended the sing-a-long version of "Grease". I never enjoyed the movie and with this exercise, my appreciation was not changed. we started with the version without words and the audience didn't sing. When the powers that be noticed they restarted the movie with the proper version. it didn't help!
A few words about our stateroom. We have an aft stateroom with a balcony that overlooks the fantail and propeller wash. Our view is westerly. The room may be 12 feet across and 20 feet deep. Enter forward going astern on the starboard side is a set of closets and a desk area. The port side is the head with shower. Passing these we come to the living quarters with seating area and double bed, thence to the balcony. Sara, i believe this to be twice as big as your apartment in Seoul, Korea. Good thing we are here for only 18 days and not 2 years. Pictures to follow.
