I'm not the athletic sort. I proved that once again today during the 2nd Women's Olympic Event. The Olympic competition happens on sea days. I disgraced myself by earning one of the lowest scores in the bean bag toss. This time, however, I did not advertise my citizenship by wearing my Canada T-shirt. I am pleased to report that the two women currently leading the competition are Canadian.
Our North of 50 Trivia team is less embarrassing. We're in the top ten percent and have a fighting chance of placing in this event.
As for the ship building competition, we haven't seen any of our team members since we signed up, but I will hunt them down on our next sea day.
The live show tonight's was outstanding. An entertainer by the name of Tony Pace earned the first standing ovation of the cruise. He's a vocalist, impressionist and comedian wrapped into one. If you're heading to Vegas in the near future, you might be able to catch his performance at the Tropicana – and that would be a show well worth seeing.
The TV in my stateroom tells me that is is almost 11 pm, ship's time. We are at latitude 17° 51'N, 2626.7 nautical miles from Vancouver and 4073 nautical miles from Tampa. It is 27.9 degrees Celsius outside with a relative humidity of 93 percent. We are experiencing small waves of 4.9 feet. At least, that is what the TV says. I think that's just enough wave action to lull me to sleep, while Dean plays Texas Hold 'Em in the casino.
Tomorrow, Acapulco!
~ Sounds like your sea legs have adjusted quite well! I wanted to pass along that I did some PR for North of 50 at The Word on the Street Event in Vancouver, plus mentioned your blog site (-: No worries about a slow connection...my entire computer system is so slow, I click on a snail, instead of a mouse! LOL! Cheers!
