First Day at Sea

Busy day today, slept in ‘til 8.30am. Seas were rough and I didn’t feel to good in the morning, so we spent the morning unpacking cases and finding places to put things. The cases didn’t arrive at the cabin ‘til about 10.00pm last night, long time considering we were onboard before noon. Went to our Cruise Critic ‘meet and greet’ this afternoon and met most of the folks we’ve been communicating with, an eclectic group, it was nice to put faces to all the names. Right now we’re passing Cuba, heading South East toward Cayman Islands where we’re scheduled to drop anchor at 07.00am Air temp is currently 23 degrees, 20mph fom the North with medium seas. Our seventh dinner guest, Martha, arrived tonight, so the table was full and conversation was a bit more relaxed as we got to know each other. It should be a good table and it looks like we should all get along, apart from Martha there’s Mary and Andy from Austin, Texas in their 60’s and June and Jim from Utah 50ish . Not sure where Martha is from but I think she said she grows grapes. Managed to double my money in the casino (started with $10 and quit with $20) well at least it’s not a loss.
