We had some excitement on board last evening just as we were about to cast off from Fakarava. Our Cruise Director was taken off the ship and flown to Papeete with some kind of medical emergency. We also lost our comedic entertainer since he was the Cruise Director’s husband. So now we wait for a status report.
We’ve been sailing into fairly brisk winds today so everyone has that drunken sailor walk, trying to walk in as straight a line as possible. The swimming pool has been transformed into a wave pool, which has kept most people out of the pool, but that makes it a whole lot more fun than the regular pool for the few of us who ventured in.
Sitting staring out at nothing but water tends to make one wax somewhat philosophically. Like, what’s better, being stranded in the middle of a desert or and ocean? The sun is going to get you in both places, but at least you can cool off in the ocean as long as you don’t get eaten by the denizens of the deep. You might find drinkable water in the desert, whereas the ocean is “Water water everywhere and not a drop to drink.” Fortunately, the ship is up to speed and we have lots to eat and drink on board. Enough blather for today!
