Monday second sea day

Monday April 20th second sea day
Another fast day to say the least. We started the day with some mildly rough seas and grey skies. As the day progressed the sky cleared and the sea became calm. Tonight for the last hour or so we are rocking pretty well. I don’t think that it is even as bad as last year. It is now about 1030pm and before bed we have to change the clock ahead another hour.
This cruise the captain is not as talkative as last year. In fact, we have not heard from him at all. So we are not getting the little trivia updates like last year. Kind of miss that a bit. We have now traveled 1137 miles about half way to our first stop in the Azores (1197 to go). Waves are at about 9 feet right now and we have a nice steady rock.
Today we had breakfast with 2 sisters that are traveling together from California. Then it was off to the spa for some relaxation in the hydrotherapy pool. I planted myself on a heated stone bed for about an hour and a half and finished my book. We had lunch at the buffateria and tried to sit out by the pool for a while. The sun was warm but the wind as a bit too chilly.
After a nap we went back to the spa for a little more time in the hydrotherapy pool. We then meet for a cocktail in the bliss ultra lounge before diner.
We once again ate at the magenta. It was lobster night. We started with ginger pumpkin seafood bisque. We each had a lobster tail and grouper diner. We split a beef wellington since we had never had that before. Desert was a honey cream brulee, it was the best I have ever had.
Tonight the show was a singer known as the chocolate goddess of love, Jane Powel. She is a jazz/blues singer. www.JaneLPowell.com We enjoyed the show very much. She did say that in 20 years of doing shows on cruise ships that this is the first time she ever got sea sick…..HMMM.
We are finally a little further south in the ocean, about even with Baltimore. There is a little more warmth in the air now. We are sailing with our balcony door open. The side to side rock is a bit faster now. I will take a pill to be on the safe side. Chris wants on too!!!! Ought oh!!!! May be the extra desert and after shoe ice cream cone is getting to him.
