Day 102 - At Sea

 

Date:  April 20

 

Location:  Day 102 – At Sea

 

Next Port:  Arrecife, Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain, April 21

 

Report:  Today was a blustery, cool day at sea. No real outside activities. In the late afternoon the skies cleared, but the seas started kick up pretty good.

 

We slept late, attended our morning devotionals at 8:45, after which we had breakfast – inside today…a bit cool on the aft deck. Karen attended her Bridge lesson and followed it up with an hour of playing with her partner Kirk. Larry attended two morning lectures: “The Canary Islands” by Sandra Bowern and “60 Years at CBS, Half of Them at 60 Minutes” by Don Hewitt and his wife, Marilyn Berger. She now writes for the NY Times and was previously a reporter for the Washington Post, NBC-TV and PBS. It was basically a Q&A session and was fairly interesting.

 

After lunch, we played Scrabble in the Game Room, read and both worked out. Karen also played darts with pick-up teams in the Atrium.

 

We enjoyed dinner tonight in Signatures, the Cordon Bleu restaurant, with Judy and Kirk, and Helga and Siegy.

 

It wasn’t the day in the sun on the pool deck we had hoped for (after staying up late last night to get our journal caught up)…but we still had good fun. We’ve learned to be very adaptable!
