The Swim

The Swim
You had to pay close attention. Was it 30 teens or was it 30 seniors (senior-ish)? Everyone was in for the fun!

THE POOL IS OPEN! Time to swim. Some behaved and dove in from the swim deck. A couple eased in, and regretted it - the water was cool at first! A few dove in from the main deck - which is allowed, but do it at your on risk. And then there is always the ONE.

Yes, ONE! One who wanted to (and was prepared to) dive in from the upper deck - the top deck. But he was called off when his wife called him by his full name. Yes, the name on his passport. You know what that means. Of course, he was Aussie!

But anyway, we all ended up in the water for 20 minutes (maybe 30 minutes) or so. Bobbing in the crystal clear, (pick your color - cobalt, turquoise, saffire) water.

Bobbing because of the extra salt. Anyone and everyone would be buoyant here.

A few tried to swim down to the bottom, but that wasn't happening. They were lucky to get 10 feet down before bobbing back to the surface.

On to lunch in the salon!

*** UPDATE ***

Another swim day on day 4 and the seal upper deck got cracked. Several of the men and one of the ladies made the big splash.... some of it easy going - and some with a little peer pressure ... I mean cheerful convincing.Baca lagi
