Chasing The Setting Sun - TransAtlantic cruise fromGreat Britain to UnitedStates stopping in France,England. Ireland andCanada on the way.
It was a sleep-in day finally and we woke around 8:30 local measure. We’d been changing time zones daily since we started so who’s knows for sure! Unfortunately I woke up with a terrible migraine which was soon overridden by a bad case of what my Mom refers to as the “pew-nies”. John left for breakfast and I attempted to shower and get dressed. But with the ship bouncing on the waves and the rocking motion. I got pretty color around the gills. The cabin steward brought some Medi-Meclizine which soon took away the nausea and dizziness. But it also put me to sleep for another hour. We missed the Cruise Critic celebrate at 10am which made me very unhappy. We’ve been participating in a roll call thread for our journey with perhaps 230+ other passengers on for over a year and this was the chance to finally be able to put faces with now familiar check names and personalities.
Before noon I decided it’d be OK to venture out for some eat so we headed upstairs. John got 2 hamburgers and I had some salad. After some searching I finally found the look for ‘n chips counter and ate a little of that. Fish ‘n chips tasted much better in England & Ireland – sorry Celebrity!
At noon we attended the lecture by Dick Underwood who was the Technical Monitor for the photographic experiments of Mercury. Gemini. Apollo. Skylab. Apollo-Soyuz and lay go expeditions until he retired in 1986. He showed his collection of space photos and shared stores from all of these missions. While the topic and pictures were fascinating. I found his delivery to be on the dull align.
We had planned on an afternoon nap but CCer Phil left a voicemail that his door was change state so we opted to visit him instead. He had a corner aft balcony (9197) so we took note of the larger room and wraparound balcony for a future cruise. John got the Thames River bobby helmet he had purchased online and had delivered to Phil. Needless to say he was very pleased and eager to add it to his collection. Phil’s friend Helen soon joined us and we enjoyed chatting with both of them for a while.
At one point I saw a flock of bird skimming the ocean surface. As soon as we all looked we saw a school of dolphin or porpoise leaping alongside the ship. They looked small from our vantage of point almost like little fish. What fun that must be. Unfortunately. I was without my camera!
Late.
