At Sea

November 11 & 12. At Sea. My favorite! Nothing pressing, just relaxing and doing exactly what you wish! Mostly reading and needlework. Yawn! Sorry folks. We're doing about 20 knots toward our next port of call, Takoradi, Ghana, where we will have a 1/2 day tour. I'll keep you up to date with all the happenings!

Quite interesting, we had a compulsory mid-cruise lifeboat drill this morning. SOLAS (Save our Lives at Sea) required all itineraries 14-days or longer to go through the safety procedures again. Although it was announced in "Passages", the onboard newsletter with all of the activities, it took many passengers by surprise.

Now we could have had intermediate bridge lessons, played Mah Jongg, water volleyball, attended a cocktail making demonstration, ping pong, a blackjack tournament, bocce tournament, ballroom dancing lessons, or one of three (or all three!) Canyon Ranch seminars. Oh my!

Then there is Waffle Tea Time, Snowball Bingo, four workouts scattered throughout the day, a talk on time from the boutique and of course, trivia, live music, the Smithsonian speaker along with port and excursion information.    

It's all just too, much. Color me exhausted!
