Another Day at Sea with Good/Bad Weather

Today began with attending the Interdenominational Sunday Church Service with Carolyn. I helped out by getting some copies made and then participated in a beautiful Service with very soothing music courtesy of Paul. Thank you for the invitation, I hope some of those in attendance will join our Friday night Shabbat Services and Passover celebration.

The weather was the same with the ship still in the North Pacific was on a SE 150 degree course at 17 knots. We have gone 657 nautical miles with 1441 to go. It rained on/off and was cloudy most of the day with 20 knot winds and moderate 8' swells. They still have blowers going in the hallways days later drying out the carpeting from the heavy rains and swells that managed to creep their way in.

It was a catchup day all around with chatting with Lee, emails and Central Synagogue. Yes, there were plenty of activities, games and music around the ship too for when we needed a little change in pace....nice relaxing day.

After a wonderful "surprise" dinner (we didn't have a reservation but the maître d' appreciated that Karen actually cancelled a reservation days before when Paul & Carolyn asked us to dinner) at Jacques for just the two of us. Beautiful relaxing meal (see photos).

In the afternoon there was a lecture on the REAL Robinson Crusoe. See separate post for a summary of this interesting lecture. We listened to a great singer this evening. Michael Linden had incredible energy as he sang and told great stories, his electro-harmonix voice box was used to create 4 part vocal harmonies during a live performance. Verrrry cool. See video. After that we met many friends to watch The 98th Academy Awards together (yes, it was recorded since it had ended live as we started watching).Læs mere
