To sea or not to sea

I keep thinking of the movie Groundhog Day. Every day the same. It's crazy. I've never gone on a crossing of the Atlantic Ocean but I was expecting a mix of weather. No mix here. Every day is perfect.

Last night we shot photos of the sun going down. Magic. And we were not alone. Cameras big and small were all over the back deck area. All I had was my iPhone but it worked just fine. The colours just took my breath away. Yes, that beautiful.

We are chugging toward Ponta Delgada Portugal where we will land on Sunday. Just one more day at sea and we will be on land. But I am in no hurry. I am loving these sea days. I'm not antsy to get off. In fact I am good to go a lot longer. The Eurodam is a great ship and the weather has been 20-25 c every day. There are no big waves like our last cruise. Calm.

We have started to put some nicknames to people we see every day here for our own amusement. And we've met some very interesting people including an 80 year old man from Palm Springs who was heading to Paris and finally his place in the south of France. I think I could write a novel using him as a main character. He has a friend who owns a castle... Just saying...

One thing worth mentioning is the time changes. Almost every day we have moved our clocks ahead by an hour at 2 pm. Why 2 pm? Because it seems it is easier for passengers to handle during the day. No time zone line. Just doing it with minimum complaints!

It is formal night so I will pull out the suit for tonight and clean myself up.
