Today we are sailing to Bergen, Norway, where we will arrive tomorrow. We’re in the middle of the North Sea where it is a bit windy, approaching gale force. Last night we had a brief thunderstorm. The ship is very stable, but does rock a little. The rocking motion made for a good night’s sleep for me, but P.J. felt a little bit sea sick when she got up. She took a pill and felt better but now she’s drowsy.
This morning P.J. went to a presentation in the ship’s theater. They featured a slide show and to her surprise one of the slides was a picture of me walking around in Iceland. She is now negotiating for cruise benefits in exchange for retroactive copyright permission. We, and apparently they, don’t know how that picture ended up in the slide show. As for me, I am flattered that I can still do modeling at my age. Did not know I had it in me.
Our cabin is at the stern of the ship. We have an oversize balcony with a beautiful view over the ship’s wake, but I easily get cabin fever and go out regularly to walk on the deck. I love walking around the deck, especially in windy weather. The sky and the sea are always changing and when the weather is not typically Caribbean it is very quiet on the deck of a cruise ship.
