at Sea
December 9, 2022
We left the continent of Africa last night and are on our way to the Cape Verde Islands. Too far to make it in one day so we are traveling very slowly, 10 knots, as to get there on Friday.
We had an independent tour booked but when I pressed the tour operator about it being a private tour, she cancelled and said the minimum number of people was not met. I’ll do some research and we will figure something out.
The gym was interesting with the large swells we were experiencing at such a slow speed.
I missed Jeremy’s talk about Cape Verde. I will watch it on tv to get ideas on what to see in Cape Verde.
The ship has a safety protocol it must follow every 30 days. Just means that you have to report to your muster station and check in. Very easy to do.
We picked up passports again. Not sure where we will need them. Maybe the USA?
Our group is the loudest at team trivia because of all of the laughing. Richard can’t hear anything but is full of great answers. People who can’t hear always speak very loudly. The team next to us can hear him quite well.
We played a round of scategories at 7 since we had already seen the act on the World Stage. There were only two teams and we won by a large margin. Why just answer ring when you can say royal red ring and get 3 points?
My last message with tour provider was at 9 pm. We will see what happens in the morning.…
