Our entertainer tonight was Tracey Shield from somewhere in England who was pretending to be a French Canadian singer. We have seen her before on another ship, and we didn’t understand her words that time either. I reckon she hit the notes, and she did a lot of wiggling with her fingers, but it didn’t do much beyond that for your favorite cruisers. Just goes to show, you can’t please ‘em all. Not everyone’s cup of tea. You win some, you lose some. And other cliched remarks.
Our table for six was occupied tonight by only two of us. Our table mates were at one or the other of the speciality restaurants tonight, leaving us to be cared for in a romantic setting for two. The moon is beautiful out here in the ocean. It comes up from beyond the stern and slowly rises into the sky. Good light show our Lord puts on. I had Linguini Alfredo and Bonnie had a baked potato, plus the usual appetizers and ice cream for dessert.
There was a good crowd for the first of my “Pirates and Sailors” talks, “The Pirate Democracy.” It gave me a chance to tell the audience that one of the most famous Pirates of all time came from Puerto Rico – playing right field, number 21, Roberto Clemente! The Great One got a good reception. And in relaying the history of Hog Island (now Paradise Island) in the Bahamas, I was pleased to announce that it was owned at one time by now President-Elect Donald Trump. Sweet. I think I heard a couple of Hillaryites gag. Tomorrow I will hang “Captain Kidd.”
We have set our watches back another hour, so we are only two hours ahead of you. One more time change before Bermuda, and one after, to get us back on Augusta time. It sure is the way to beat jet lag.
Well, that’s it from Excitement at Sea Land. See yinzs tomorrow.
