Day at Sea … Losing Time

January 19, 2023, North Pacific Ocean ⋅ ⛅ 70 °F

Day 2 of our two days at sea …

Over the course of our two days at sea, we have lost two hours. This was done so that when we reach Manzanillo, Mexico, we will be on the correct local time.

Of course, we will lose many, many, many more hours on this voyage because we are heading east across the world … though we will jiggle north and south along the way. At the International Date Line, we will gain an entire day, however, so it will all even out.

But that is a long ways away. And, if I heard CD Ray correctly, we’re now good in our current time zone for a week or so.

Today’s highlights … a delightful lunch and a delightful dinner. The former with Oceania staff friends, CD Ray and OCA Cella. The latter … a sort of mini RTW2017 reunion with friends Sonia & Boris and Pat & Norm. We all met for the first time on that voyage. When there is nonstop chatter — and even more laughter — you know you are amongst friends who share similar interests and experiences.Read more
