Day 109

May 11, 2019 – at Sea

Roughest water on the entire cruise. 20 ft swells made getting around very difficult. Walking through the Lido looked like everyone was at Mystery Hill. The difference was the floor didn’t remain at the same slant very long. This is the first time that things in the room were sliding off of the desk and falling on the floor.

The Captain said that by midnight things would calm down a bit and that tomorrow it would be very calm.

We tried working out in the morning but it was too dangerous. The swells were very unpredictable.

We spent the day watching movies. Laying in bed felt like swinging in a hammock. Nice. Walking around could give you an ill feeling. Yuck.

We planned to have dinner with Bob and Brenda in the dining room. When we arrived, only Bob was there. Seas were making Brenda ill and she passed.

The evening entertainment was pianist Judy Carmichael. She was accompanied by house drummer Graham. It was obvious that that did little rehearsing together as she was speaking to him as she played. He played very well. Her playing couldn’t be questioned but the show was a bit less than exciting. She spoke too much about things the audience had little interest in. The show was early 20C jazz and when she was playing I enjoyed it. She traded 2’s and 4’s with Graham on a few numbers. He was on brushes the entire show. I enjoyed the back and forth solos. Very talented just needs to rethink the show in my opinion.

Tonight we go back to eastern time. We will finish the last of our 25 hour days. Going to miss those. We had 18 of them.
