Tonight’s entertainer was fiddle player E. Sarah Carter. She played with Spirit of the Dance, Riverdance, and Lord of the Dance. And tonight played for us. A great talent, and your favorite cruisers enjoyed her.
Captain Lavadera was as good as his word. The seas have been pitching about 3 meters. It was interesting sitting on the pool deck for lunch. We could really watch the bow of the ship come up and down as judged against the horizon. This is a hearty group of sailors because as of this time, the barf bags are not out – and we’ve seen them out on other ships in lesser seas. This really isn’t bad, and it makes for a good night’s sleep because the beds are set 90 degrees from the angle of the ship’s movement, so we roll gently back and forth.
I did my “Water” talk this afternoon, and it was recorded for broadcast tomorrow night on Channel 24 beginning at 8 p.m. (right after “Murder She Wrote” – just kidding – they broadcast it continuously so you can catch up on the “Food, Glorious Food!” series).
Tomorrow is a short stay in Funchal (Madeira) Portugal. We arrive at 7 and all aboard is 1:30, with sail away at 2 p.m. I’ve been trying to determine if we’ve been to this port of call. One minute I thought we had, and then I looked at the map and where we dock and I’m not sure. Well, tomorrow, unless there comes up a rain storm, I will be able to tell you for certain that we have been to Funchal.
Bonnie’s throat has been hurting her today and she’s been dipping into the medical comforts we have brought along. Please say a special prayer for her. It’s been almost a month, and 2-3 weeks was the projected time for feeling better. So far, some better, not much better.
Well, a short blog tonight. We’ll hopefully have some exciting events with which to regale you tomorrow as we set sail for 5 days at sea with our next stop in Bermuda. Until then ... TTFN
