Middle of Nowhere
Current distance
traveled 2,789 nautical miles, sea depth 15,550 feet, speed 18.7 knots.
Today’s chat with the Captain revealed that we are literally
in the ‘middle of nowhere’. I always wondered where that was. Now I know and now I have been there
We have been experiencing seas with a swell of about 12
feet. Not too bad, but it caused enough of a slosh that they had to drain the
two main pools. Occasionally we have to grab a handrail but for the most part
it hasn’t been bad at all. I wonder if there is a point when you can drink just
the right amount to level things back out again.
Captain say tomorrow it will calm back down and it will be
smooth sailing the rest of the way.
I had to push myself to get to a 9:30 am lecture this morning. I am really enjoying the series that the
forensic psychiatric is giving. In fact I ran into him later on the ship and
got to have a chance to say hello.
The debate today was: “Death Penalty – Yes or No”. Hands down Americas favor the death penalty
over other parts of the world. One American man even suggested that rather than
the death penalty, criminals should be forgiven and then they should become
part of a mandatory organ harvesting program. OK, first time I have ever heard
that as an option.
This cruise is really opening up my eyes to things.
I love the photo of nowhere. It looks so familiar. Are the ocean swells good for sleeping? Sounds like a hammock.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to read your posts, Annie. I hope you keep blogging about the trip. There's so much ahead.
Yes, very soothing to be rocked to sleep at night.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to read that you will have smooth sailing from here on out. Tell Aunt Mollie that I love my golfing lessons. The golf pro said that I improved from my first lesson by 100 percent. I have even been practicing my swing by hitting tree berries that fall onto my lawn into the street of course when the cars are gone. I am hitting straighter and farther, so I am really impressed by my improvement. It was in the 90 degree range for the last two days here. I heard that cool weather and some rain are in the forecast for the weekend which is surprising. Have a wonderful cruise!
