The fifth full day at sea today at it’s a warm one, 19
degrees. The wind is down too, or more accurately,
coming from behind us, which made it pleasant for a run/walk on the jogging
track. In fact, it’s quite humid, must
be thanks to the southern route we’ve taken: we are north of the Azore’s now.
Because of the nice weather, the track was full of joggers and
runners. I started running but it was
too crowded to jog continuously so I jogged when there was space and walked
otherwise. I did 6 kms and glad I
did. Yesterday I did very little in the
way of exercise and needed to break a sweat.
Yesterday morning there was a spinning class in the fitness centre at
9. I went there, set up the bike and got
on for a warm up before the glass. But
the ship was pitching quite heavily and it was obvious that I wouldn’t enjoy
the class. I ended up spending the
morning in the sun. Lunch yesterday was
outside and it really could have been a Caribbean cruise: warm, sunny and the
water looked turquoise.
Entertainment has a been a bit hit and miss to me. The singing/dancing didn’t do much for me but
last night was a comedian and he was quite good. There is a full schedule of activities every
day though I haven’t done too much of it.
One of the big past times on cruise ships seems to be trivia. I don’t know why but when people step on a
ship they seem to be overcome with the desire to play it. There’s team trivia, music trivia, cumulative
trivia…it goes on and on.
No time change today
which is nice, but we brace for the rough weather. The Captain said he expects the wind to pick
up later tonight and through tomorrow. Wish
me luck!
