cruise -- day 7

Water, water everywhere.  But lots of drops to drink.

On board, at least.  But looking over the edge of the ship, what you see at the right is what there is to see.

An occasional passing ship.  A dollop of seaweed.  One or two porpoises.

I do not have a balcony on this cruise.  I miss that.  One of my favorite pass-times on cruise ships is to sit and watch the light and wind change the sea.

I can do that on the public decks.  But usually with refrains of reggae music.  And folks interrupting to talk.

Another day enjoying the sea.

Funny how a blanket of water as a backdrop or fore drop  soothes the soul. Yet that is exactly what it does. Enjoy amigo!

Livin your dream--that in itself is exciting. Petra is on the horizon or will be soon...

Tried to find the ship's cam, no luck. Are you going to Spain and than thru the Suez Canal?

Steve Cotton said...

We are, indeed.

 And it is one of the reasons I love about living on the beach.

 And lots of buffet lunches.

I haven't been out in the big oceans since two Pacific Navy tours in very early Vietnam.   Had my own radar room and radar tower for a little privacy.   Even under Navy conditions the ocean is magical

That may be why we both live so close to the ocean.
