Wind and Waves at Sea - January 18, 2024 - World Voyage Day 16 - 8051 Steps

 

As the Captain put it during his daily noon update today: It's an ocean in motion day.

The wind means waves, but we knew that in the night as were occasionally not so gently rocked awaked. Mornings light brought it to sight.

Something different again to start the day. I know I have never had this combination for breakfast. Yogurt, granola and blueberries - yes, but with oat milk added - never.

The raw materials for today's Oi Brazil craft project. 

This sample was provided to give all the craftwomen and the craftman a starting idea as to what to make.

Linda's handiwork compliments her perfectly.

The ocean can be many things. At this moment to me it was such a lovely thing.

Holland America's distinctive stacks.

The six starboard side Starlink antennas atop their mounting poles. There are six more over on the port side.

Artwork is everywhere. One of these days I plan to do a post showing the six paintings in the corridor between our room and the closet elevator/stairs lobby.

What happens in the pool when the ships is rocking.

Linda is consistent if nothing else. 57 years and 12 days ago on our first date she knocked over a have full pitcher of beer spilling it on me. Tonight she knocked over her half full glass of gin and tonic spilling all over Shari.

An ounce of prevention is worth something or other. Using the drinks menu to prevent a reoccurrence of her drenching anyone else at the table, especially since she does it so frequently.

Best entertainment onboard to date. These three men from Liverpool, England really rocked and had the crowd in the palm of their hands.

Sadly it was their one and only show for the cruise.

Perky the pearly white penguin was watching over our room when we returned from the show.
