Seaday recap
I misspoke and misspelled in my last entry. We willnot have two days at sea before our next landing. We only had the one day. On Thursday we dock at Cartagena, Colombia for a short 6 hour visit. Deb and I have a tour set to give us plenty of tourist information and time to shop. Back on board by 2:00 or miss the Canal transit.
Our day at sea brought no new revelations. We read and napped extensively. We looked for things to do that interested us but going outside did not figure into our plans. The wind coming off the port bow clocked in at 42mph. We have a cruise speed of 18knots and the wind coming at us measures 30mph or 10 beaufort. Very brezzy if one wanted to stroll on the deck. At this writing, late Wednesday, the wind seems to have picked up and the sea has responded with a gentle rocking motion.
We received a note from the captain that, not threat exists in Cartagena but stay alert. Our travel group will take us liek a herd of lambs to various sites and return us quite unharmed, i know.
Today we performed,"Elegant Night". We dressed for dinner. It amazes me how people take on a different air when they believe they have dressed up, myself included. We all walked more upright, manners at the tables improved and, generally, we saw a prettier picture. 'Course immediately fter dinner the cruiseclothes came back and peace reigned on the ship.
more tomorrow.
