3 Days at Sea

We are sailing in the Gulf of St Lawrence at the moment after transiting from Iceland. The night we left Iceland was the same day that they had the line dancing night. Our waitress who had been really fast was really slow so we did not make it to the night except at for the last few minutes. They play a silly game and I was one of the 2 finalists. Oh Boy - Champagne. Unfortunately with the cut backs the prizes were hats. OK I can always use another one.
The crossing was rocking because of a few pressure systems that had developed. The first night I decided to head to bed after dinner and had a 12 hour sleep. I slept like a baby! Since that night with pot holes in the ocean as the captain likes to remind us were a bit like Windsor roads but things are going great. He took a course that was more towards Greenland and by this morning we entered the Straits of Belle Isle. That was not the planned route but we did see the Labrador shore early this morning. Right now we are on our way to the last port of Sydney . That is where we will be by tomorrow. Our days have been spent listening to the same person talk about ocean liners. The sinking of the Normandy was quite a good lecture. Today he talked about the Arctic. We also had another Art auction and did some line dancing and and the waltz in the ballroom class.
   Last night was also a formal night with the Captain's Circle party. There are almost 2000 members on board and we are one of 384 Elite members. We keep kidding Eli and Bill that we are Elite and anything that happens is because we are Elite. The casino has been a little better as we are still playing on our 'investment' from a week ago. Tomorrow is Sydney and we are just going to wander and maybe take a bus to one of the museum. Definitely a Tim Horton's somewhere along the way. Oh I should mention that now that we are in Canada, the sun has come out but the temperatures are about the same as the whole trip. We did meet a couple that we have talked to on 2 previous cruises! Tim for a rest before ballroom practice and cocktails!
