We are near the end of our Atlantic crossing and getting ready for our first port in Madeira. 8 am is our scheduled arrival time. Tuesday we are in Madeira, Wednesday we are in Arrecife which is one of the Canary Islands and then Wednesday and Thursday we are overnight in Morocco.
The Captain took to the PA at noon and started with the Covid 19 mask requirement. He said the he did know it was the 7th day of the trip and he would have an answer later in the day on wether to relax the requirement. It was later in the day and we were at team trivia when he made the announcement. No more masks for the time being. The ship erupted in cheers and applause. For the first time, I was able to see what the wait staff actually looked like.
Terri is doing lots of watercolor painting and I finished the Big Fraud Book. I highly recommend it.
We skipped the evening entertainment and played some cards. Early to bed as we lose another hour tonight.
