A sunny day at sea is a beautiful thing. All the food you need and none of the plans you don't need.
Day at sea weather: 68 degrees and sunny. We awoke relatively early (although that 8 a.m. "Early Morning Stretch" in the Fitness Center was happily missed) and had breakfast in the Great Outdoors (a buffet located outside in the aft section of the ship). After that, we looked for a place to lay around, read, take in the sun, and just vegetate (lay like broccoli).
James joined a group of five guys and one girl in a three-point shoot-out. The first four players failed to make even one shot, so he was highly confident. The gusty winds and low overhanging net added to the challenge but his form and follow-through were superb. Plus, he is from Indiana now, so he is inherantly better at basketball than most others. Each shot was on target and headed for the goal, but each shot went in and out. The lid remained on the basket throughout the 10 shots around the horn. Another player finally sank one and mercifully ended the contest.
After lunch, it was Free Card Bingo time. You see, it normally cost $10 to play one game of Bingo, so many more folks showed up to play the free version, including us. We watched as the suckers played the first two games at $10 per shot. I had a good first two calls and then I went dry. We aren't sure Kristal ever got one of her numbers called. Again, it mercifully ended and we were off to get ready for dinner.
It was lobster night in the Grand Pacific ballroom, apparently a big thing on cruises, so we played along and went for the lobster. It was also our night to celebrate our fifth anniversary. After the lobster, they sang to us and delivered a wonderful cake.A big production called "World Beat" was our last bit of entertainment before heading off to sleep and getting ready for our first excersion from the boat in the morning.
