Today was a full day at sea sailing north of the Dominican
Republic, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The skies were partly to mostly cloudy and the temperature
was very pleasant in the high 70’s.
After breakfast we went to the Sanctuary and spent most of
the rest of the day there. Katie
graded some quizzes from one of her classes. When she finished we began our Scrabble tournament. As usual she beat me soundly both
games. After a fairly late and
light lunch, we came back to the cabin and I sat for a while on the veranda
enjoying the sound of the wake splashing behind us and watching the clouds move
by. It’s very mesmerizing!
Around sunset we went up to Skywalkers, the lounge on Deck
18 all the way aft, and had a drink and watched the sun go down. There was a
band of clouds just above the horizon with enough distance between it and the
sea that we could see the fiery ball slowly sink as if going into the
ocean. Tonight was the night that
was supposed to be the optimal evening to see the comet heading toward the sun
about half an hour after sunset and low on the horizon. Unfortunately there were too many
clouds for us to catch even a glimpse.
For dinner we went to the Crown Grill. It was formal night and many people
were dressed up in their finery.
We enjoy seeing everyone all decked out. We got our photo taken (we’ll see the results
tomorrow). It was a nice, relaxing
day Tomorrow we’ll be in St.
Maarten.
