Comments

We awoke this morning to a far less menacing sea. The violent rocking of the ship has transitioned into a gentle roll and we can now place objects on surfaces without them flying instantly to the other side of the room. There is still the occasional large wave that will catch us unawares, causing chairs, and people on chairs, to slide along the floor. But after the silence of yesterday, the ship is murmuring with life. The daily 'deck of cards' workout is back in full swing and the internet is now painfully slow as we all emerge from our cabins and try to get messages out to friends and family. The weather improved just in time, some might say, for the most important event of the week - Taco Tuesday. And it did not disappoint. Those attending the 3pm yoga will be doing so with full tummies, and the rest of us will likely be laying low until dinner, at which time our stomachs will magically feel empty once again.

REGARDS: Anthea & Samantha
