2-15 Day 41 At sea

We lost another hour this afternoon, so it was a shorter day once again.  Started with bridge, followed by a cooking demo with Ray Bear, guest chef.  He made seafood chowder, which was really good, but too much trouble to make (for me!), king crab and avocado balls, which I will make they were so good, and his famous caramel popcorn ice cream.  I know the last sounds weird, but it is really good.  He is trying to market it.  But I’ll make it when I get home and you all can see how good it is!

Doug and I had a quick lunch in the Lido.  The captain always makes a 12:45 announcement with an update of our location, weather, etc.  Today, he announced that our youngest guest, 4 year old Jasmine, would be blowing the horn.  It was really cute.  He let her do it 3 times before he continued on.  She wanted to turn the ship 360 degrees (like the captain likes to do) but he decided to wait until another time for that!   Jasmine is the only child on our ship, and everyone loves her. 

We headed back to the cabin and I took a nap because I wasn’t feeling all that good.  I slept the rest of the day and night.  Doug spent time on the computer and enjoyed some down time in the cabin.  We had hoped to go star gazing with some of the deck officers, but just couldn’t make it – later heard it was cloudy anyway, so I didn’t miss it! 

Not a very exciting day – but getting caught up on some sleep.  We woke up in the middle of the night and remembered that we were crossing into the eastern hemisphere sometime while we slept!
