Wednesday At Sea!

Noon position report time. We are about 2400 miles from Maderia having made just over 500 miles in the last 24 hours. Yesterday was formal night so we had our photos taken again. Then when they are posted we stand and talk about what lovely pictures they are to total strangers! Some Fun!
We discovered that on this ship there is a speciality buffet which is themed. Yesterday is had sushi, fried rice,sweet and sour pork, etc. Today is Mexican Day so we may try lunch there if the dining room is too full or the menu doesn't appeal to us.
Last night at dinner there were 2 couples celebrating 40 years. The other couple had their 40th in January and of course ours will be in June. We did know that the special dessert was coming because we had arranged it through Penny our travel agent at CAA. Thanks to Penny!
After our walk yesterday we tried to do the same a few minutes ago but the sea spray has covered the deck so after 1 turn we decided to head inside where Judy is now reading. We did manage to get to breakfast today and actually sat with a couple that leve about 5 miles away from us in Florida. There are a lot of Florida and California people on this trip.
I wanted to add some photos today. They do have a card reader but I need help to upload as the message says can't do it for security reasons.This morning we went to line dancing. It was basic as we had a different instructor. The one slated for the session has been sick and it is a bit confusing as she did things slightly different than yesterday. We then stayed on for ballroom. Today was the salsa lesson so now I can "move those hips" with the best of the dancers with new knees and hip pins! Last night after a very good singer performed we did stop in the Club Fusion and caught the last to the New Year's Party and did a few dances. By the timewe returned to the cabin we had had it. This might explain the tired feeling for the last few days! Oh I hope that shuttering was a wave and not a torpedo!
Noon report finished. Weather remains in the 70's althought it is humid and overcast!
