4-19 Day at Sea

The Cruise director had announced that we might encounter rough seas leaving Bahamas and on our way to Bermuda. We know all about rough seas to Bermuda – don’t we Maggi and Richard?  Well, as bad as that crossing was – this one was like floating on a sea of glass.  Not a ripple!  Beautiful day – sunshine, not too much wind, and no seas to speak of at all.  We (well, me in particular!) were very pleased.

Won’t bore you with all the sea day details, but suffice it to say, it was a nice relaxing Sunday with a big “special” buffet brunch in the dining room (replaces those silly midnight buffets where nobody really eats all the stuff they put out at midnight!), lots of time to read and relax, and formal night.  We met with the cruise critic folks, who all seem very nice, and ran into another couple we’ve cruised with in the past.  We’ve partnered with them for trivia – and so far – so good.  They are doing a cumulative game this time, so no prizes until the end. We’ll see…..

Also ran into, of all people, Bailey!  Our favorite bar server from way back on the Horizon in 2004.  We’ve seen him elsewhere as well, most recently on the Galaxy, which he sailed until the end two weeks ago.  It’s nice to have him around to take care of us…and to joke and laugh with.

Oh, and btw, yes, we are sailing with 2 engines. So far, so good. No problems to report!
