Sunday At Sea!

Sunday at sea and the ship keeps moving. Actually this noon report today is about 5 hours ahead of noon in Ontario as we changed time zones again. That was 2 days in a row. I think that the ship is playing games with us because I noticed that the sunset is at 9:00 pm tonight and that is way too late for our present position. I guess that since tomorrow is a port day they do not want people too tired. As we meet people they all comment on how tired they are every time breakfast at 8:30 this morning and we had 3 waiters helping us at breakfast. Point is there was nobody there. We did go to the 9 am service which included a few songs and a couple of "inspirational stories". After that it was line dancing which was very poor. The girl knows nothing and does not make any bones about it. However the ballroom dance class taught by the cruise director was excellent again. It was cha cha day and the way he breaks it down and shows the dance is enough to make even the poorest dancer (like me) get out there when the real music starts. Jude is now doing her puzzle and resting before lunch. We just finished a 40 minute walk - about 2.5

miles.
    Yesterday afternoon was cleaning day which meant that we needed to do a wash. Everything looks good again. However we were a few minutes late for the tea party where needless to say we drank tea until all the big silver pots were empty. After dressing for dinner we headed to the lounge for a magician and a singer in a 40 minute preshow. We could not bring ourselves to going to the art gallery but we will do that tonight as there is an art auction this afternoon. Dinner was scallops and crab cakes and the show after that was a great song and dance production. It was a "new" one in that we had not seen it before and it was very upbeat with lots of high energy routines. Tonight the main show is a singer. We did not win the free cocktail yesterday as we did not come close to the "number of eggs used every day on this ship" with the answer being 5500. We do have the right answer for today's quiz so we will see if our answer is pulled.
Tomorrow is Madeira in the Canary islands. We get in at 2 pm and sail at 10. We will just wander ashore as we have been here before. We travelled about 400 miles yesterday and have about the same to go which means we will slow slightly overnight. Cheers from the Atlantic Ocean!
