It was a very rough day at sea yesterday. The wind reached 60 mph. One hand for the boat. It was challenging to move around and you have to remember most passengers are my age. People weren’t sick. Just stumbling around. The one good thing with the boat movement was that we were headed into the waves so there was not much side to side action. Each deck has a central hallway that must be at least a hundred yards long so you get your steps in just getting to the dining area, meeting room, coffee machine, and back to your room. You have this sensation of walking up hill, then it feels like the boat stalls, and all at once you are moving forward quickly as your momentum shifts.
The time thing has me stumped. We are told to put our cell phones on manual so we could enter the correct time and day. Not certain why, but it does appear necessary. Each day we set our time back by one hour. Today we cross some date line and it is tomorrow, not today. This seems illogical - how do you back into tomorrow. Anyway, I am now trying to work out in my head the dates of the events we have scheduled in Japan (I am not worried Cindy always knows). The time cross the Pacific was to be 6 days, but is that days of cruising or 6 days by the Calendar?
Last night, we happened to be seated by the window while we had dinner on the first level of the ship. I pointed my phone out the window to try to provide a sense of the wave action.
