You don't realize how big the ocean is! It takes about 30 hours get from Curacao to Cartegena, clipping along at 17 knots! Sure doesn't look that far on a map!
Another glorious weather day at sea. The sun is really strong! Its amazing to see all the sun worshippers around the pools getting roasted - can't be healthy. We've always been averse to the hot sun! The veranda at our room is a great place to hang out in the shade.
We attended a non-denominational church service this morning. Led by a retired priest from Prince Edward Island and a couple of impromptu sermons by some bible enthusiasts. Our program this morning, presented by Stephanie, our favorite cruise Director, was about Cartegena and the various activities we can look forward to tomorrow.
This afternoon we just hung around and read our books. I'm reading David McCullogh's "The Path Between the Seas", Sam is immersed in "The Lost Apothecary", by Sarah Penner, which she found in the ship's library. She's reading fast to make sure she finishes it in time!
Special dinner tonight was a Seafood Boil! We enjoyed clams, muscles, crab legs, salmon, chowder, etc. It was excellent - and very messy!
Tonight's program was a comedian - Marc Yaffee - he was hysterical! His jokes we directed at his senior audience!
Cartegena tomorrow.
