ROCKING AND A ROLLING

February 5, 2016

Rocking and a reeling, Barbara Ann.

Yesterday our captain announced that he was steering east of Cape Hatteras to spare us as much of the winter seas as he could.  The smooth seas are now behind us as we head for the Chesapeake Bay, and we are encountering swells.  Because the ship rolls from port to starboard – or left to right for all you landlubbers – the bed rolls from head to toe instead of side to side.  Which makes for good night’s sleep.  Side to side would produce uncomfortable symptoms and the loss of Chocolate Melting Cake.

I did “The Incredible Hermitage” talk today.  I think of all my talks, this is my favorite – about the incredible museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, created by Peter the Great and Catherine the Great.  There’s great history, some funny stories, and beautiful artwork.  Tomorrow I’ll do “Are We There Yet?” from the astronomy menu, and then we’ll pack our bags to be picked up on Sunday by the Bro and CJ.

Bonnie is trying to get a sore throat.  Please pray that she does not.  If she’s feeling good, I’ll ask her to blog her day tomorrow.  She was into a lot of different stuff, and had a good time stuffing.

Until tomorrow.
