    Day at Sea

    October 28, 2024, Philippine Sea ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    Today we continued cruising the open Pacific Ocean on our way to Tokyo where we will arrive at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning. The seas were quite heavy this morning, making for a wobbly walk to and from breakfast. By 10:30am after doing more work on our notes and pictures for the blog in our cabin, we were beginning to feel a bit uneasy. Lee took some Gravol and had a ½ hour lie down and I had a short lie down as well. After that
    we were feeling a lot better and decided to go up for lunch at the pool deck and found that they were featuring a fish and sushi lunch. Although the presentation was excellent, it may not have been enticing to those who were just on the edge of coping with the motion.
    For dinner that night, we joined Beverly and James Hill, a couple from Auckland, New Zealand who were leaving the ship the next day.(see address at end of blog). We were standing in line for the Sette Marie restaurant and asked them if they would like to join us and it was a lovely evening.
    The entertainment tonight was called My Revolution about the “British Invasion” of the Lulu, the Kinks, the Beatles and others in the 60's and early seventies.
