On the Water

This is our first full day at sea with no ports of call. We're headed to Columbia, over the top of Cuba and then south. We'll be there at 8AM on the 16th.

We attended a very interesting lecture by Harry Chittick on pirates this morning and then another one on digital photography by Murray (pronounced Mooray) where we learned a few new things. We're going to an art history talk this afternoon, the second one in a series. The one yesterday was okay. The talks are held in a large entertainment centre. The fitness centre and pool deck are well equipped and the library is phenomenal. We've spent a bit of time in all of those.

We have bought 200 minutes of Internet time so we'll be able to keep in touch.

We put the Spot on today. It should be tracking now. We left Key West about 1:30PM yesterday and will be another two days in the Spanish Main/Caribbean Sea before reaching Cartagena.

The food has been absolutely perfect, every meal. We have been trying to show some restraint, eating lots of fruits and veggies. Although we usually have lunch and breakfast on our own, we've asked for shared tables at dinner which has allowed us to meet some very nice, very interesting people. Tonight we're eating dinner by ourselves for the first time...our choice because we reserved late and that was the table that was available.

We are also going to afternoon high tea for first time because we aren't eating dinner until much later tonight.

The rain has come and gone and might come again. It was sunny when we ate on the aft deck for lunch. I have lots of pics and a bit of video which we'll upload eventually. The computer guy, George says this is a slow connection, so we'll see.
