Queen Mary 2 - Day 4 at Sea!

Today was a lazier day than the prior ones. I slept until 6:30! Even factoring in the no time change last night I slept in! And it was much nicer to wake up so close to breakfast! When I woke up the ship was rocking more than it has this trip. Really all day it has been rocking back and forth and it is harder to walk in a straight line.

It was fairly foggy when I got up (the first photos are normally my view when I wake up), but by the time I went to go swim it was clearing up and the sun was coming out. My swimming buddy wasn't there this morning (another lady is always swimming when I get there! I did see her later in the day so she must have had something going on this morning) so I had the pool to myself and it was cold! Not freezing, but definitely colder than it has been and super windy! The wind kept trying to blow all my things over while I was swimming! My towel kept blowing into the water so it is a good thing they just have towels for you to grab! By the time I was done my ears were freezing so I sat in the hot tub with my warm headband on :)

After swimming I hung out in my room and did some simple watercoloring from this book I got from the library. I was going to play trivia this morning, but it was so crowded I couldn't get a seat! I thought oh well, I was wishy washy on goin anyway and I can go walk around and then relax in my room some more. Really I didn't do much today besides walk the deck, paint, and eat food. It was pretty nice out most of the day even if it was really windy (they did say overnight it was gale force winds that slowed us down so we are trying to make up time today and tomorrow), and I chatted with Raymond a bit this afternoon. It was sunny when I called him and I wasn't facing the window, it was behind me, and after a few minutes he said it looks so sunny there and I said yes it is! And I turned around to show him the water...and it had gotten so foggy! After we spoke I went for a walk around deck again and it was crazy how foggy it was! It came on so suddenly.

Then this evening I had to go sign up for self disembarkment and when I went down I had to go by the theatre to get there and I had forgotten they were having a broadway show tunes show this evening and it had just started so I thought why not pop in and see what it is? Well I ended up standing at the back for 45 min and watching the whole thing! Now it wasn't the most amazing dancing and singing, but it was decent and the songs were fun and one of the better shows I have seen on the boat.

So yeah, not much super exciting today. It's just nice being able to look out over the water! They did say there might be dolphins or whales this afternoon, but we didn't see any. I did see some birds that I could not figure out what they were. They looked like puffins, but no orange beak and they were light brown and white! Maybe they will show up again tomorrow and I can get a better look and figure out what kind they are! We will be closer to land so might see more...we shall see!もっと詳しく
