At Sea
We’re into our “at sea” routine. At lunch today during the Captain’s lunchtime location announcement, he told us the sea temperature and the air temperature were the same – 86 degrees, and the depth of the sea was 13,000 feet. He assured us we wouldn’t go aground at our current location.
We have substituted early morning dog walking with early morning cards. This afternoon Shirley, Betty & Leila played the game of Mah Jongg, followed by Line Dance lessons with the fellows. The laundry room is one of the most popular places aboard ship, and Terry found his place in line early this morning at 6:45.
Inside each stateroom was a letter regarding pirate activity in the Gulf of Aden and what precautions the company has in place in the event we should encounter a hostile environment. Our ship class is not typically targeted by pirates and we have more security staff than the ships being targeted. We will be transiting a designated route which is called the “Internationally Recommended Transit Corridor” and these waters are actively monitored and patrolled by international naval vessels. If all else fails, we will notify all our friends to wire ransom money to Azamara Cruise Line, Room 7098, 7090, and 7086.

ReplyDeleteEverything is still alive and well in BMK. It rained all day Sunday and Monday so no need to turn on the sprinklers!
Love this Blog. Great way to see what you are doing. Have Fun

Too bad you weren't in Phuket long enough for a Thai massage! That's a lovely adventure unlike any other massage you were likely to have had.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying your descriptions. We finally have a little better weather for a few days but by Tuesday should be raining again. Enjoy your heat!
