• Day 12: Just another beautiful sunrise

    January 3, 2024, North Pacific Ocean ⋅ 🌬 79 °F

    I left my compass & sextant in our room so I am not sure exactly where we are this morning. The sun is to our back - so we are heading in a westerly direction somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. It really doesn’t matter anyway - I have no place I need to go. The mimosa effect yesterday caused me to get to bed early last night. This morning I awoke before the sun.

    This mornings pictures are unedited views of how we get to start our day. Michael, Bill, Wayne, Bob, and a few other early risers are our companions to the awakening. The crew is busily readying the restaurants, the lounge chairs, the decks are all cleaned once again. The level of detail is beyond description. As one person lays out a fresh towel over the back of the lounge chair on the pool deck, another person follows them snipping of any loose frays of cloth. See the picture.

    Sitting with Bill on the stern outside the World Cafe I noticed his large coffee cup - “Where did you get that?” I asked. “Amazon” he replied …. I have ordered my mug (in red to not confuse mine with Bill’s blue one). Hint: If you drink a large mug off coffee the cups onboard are small - Bring a travel mug onboard so you can reduce the number of trips to the cappuccino machine. See the picture of Bill’s cup compared to mine.

    Please enjoy with me the stillness of the morning. Donna should be up shortly and we will head towards breakfast.
