At Sea

            Wednesday, 17Jan 2018 –. We went to breakfast late (as late as possible and still obtain the full breakfast), and swam afterward.  The ship continued to rock a lot today, causing the pool to slosh back and forth like the tide going in and out.  In rough water, using swim goggles helps us see the sides of the pool as we approach, lessening the risk of being thrown against the side.  In general, others didn’t think the pool seemed inviting.  Of course, we ate a late lunch. 
            Dancing was from 6:00 to 7:00 PM in the Horizons Lounge.  An hour was really too long for Sally since we were the only dancers and had no one else to talk with.  Again, the rocking of the ship caused many extra, unplanned steps taken across the floor; however, we were part of the “show” for anyone who happened to look up from their conversations.  At least, the orchestra applauded us after we finished our Tango!  (They were glad that someone was listening to them!)
            Soon afterward, we happened to be walking into the Terrace Café for dinner at the same time as Rich and Helma, whom we had met last night.  As we had the previous time, we talked until 9:30 PM and were among the last to leave the restaurant.
