Days 21 and 22 At Sea in the South Pacific

Friday, January 25th, and Saturday January 26, 2013

Two long languorous days sitting on the port side of the lower promenade deck, have marked this time at sea. This year we are 4 star Mariners with HAL, which means free laundry for us, so we don't have to use the precious sea days buried in the laundromat. Instead I am taking up my knitting project, visiting with my friends, and Barry either reads or plays Scrabble against his computer. Talk about lazy. And rolling by is the magnificent Pacific Ocean, with 15,000 feet of water under our keel. Until you sail these waters you have no appreciation for the scale of this ocean, the colour of its depths, and how something so huge can be so calm.

We have enjoyed the entertainment so much this year, and as I write this, I am not sure if we saw the comedian, or the singer, (days also blend here), but now that we are on early dinner seating, we are thoroughly enjoying the length of evening we have to do things around the ship, and still get to bed at a reasonable hour. I am so well rested that it's obscene.
