Late yesterday we heard that we would skip the Pitcairn Islands due to a medical emergency on board. We have no more information about that, but we continue sailing with nothing but a lot of Pacific around us. After a couple of overcast, drizzly days - still hot mind you - the sun has returned today, so the pool deck and balconies are getting lots of use.
Now for some interesting trivia about the Pacific. The largest body of water in the world, the Pacific covers 1/3 of the world’s surface. You could put every continental land mass on earth in the Pacific and there would still be room left over. By the time we hit Lima, we will have traveled over 10 000 km of it.
The ship has been a little rocky for three days now, due to the trade winds into which we’re sailing. Dawn’s OK but she’s been wearing her sea bands. Many are not feeling quite as chipper and have been confined to cabins. The waves today are 3.5 metres, but it’s the wind that’s really keeping the ship rocking and rolling.
Today I’ll visit the various watering holes onboard. The largest, is Horizons located on the 15th floor at the front of the ship which as the name suggests really does give one a good look at the horizon. This is our favourite spot for Happy hour and it’s also where the dance band hangs out and they have afternoon tea.
There are three bars on the 6th floor, the Grand Bar where the string quartet entertains,
Martini’s with its piano bar
and what we call the Psychedelic Bar, which is really an offshoot of the Grand Bar.
Tomorrow we’re still at sea and I will show you some of the artistic highlights of Marina.
