We’re now halfway across the Indian Ocean, with only three more days to Mauritius Island. It’s a surreal feeling to be so far out in the vast ocean. The motion of the ship is ever-present, though neither of us has suffered any sickness. It’s mostly a head game, not thinking about it too much, and keeping busy.

Captain Marco has kept the ship’s speed between 16 and 18 knots, so to minimize the pitch and rock. The weather changes almost hourly, with small storms coming from the southeast (behind us), catching up, dropping rain, and then they are gone. It’s 75F outside and currently partly cloudy. As on land, the sun is always a welcome sight.

Today’s schedule finds us playing Mexican Train with friends, Marsh will continue building his website, I’ve got a lecture on security in the Red Sea, photography class, and a trivia tournament. We’ll listen to classical music, then happy hour and dinner. Clearly, no one is suffering here.

Thank you to those who have left such nice comments. If you have questions about the ship or journey, please leave them in the comments section and I’ll try to address them in a future post.

    So curious about what a sea day is like. Nice! I loved it and think of you both often asking, “What are they doing today? What is the weather like? What friends will they visit? What for dinner?” The questions go on and on and on.

    How is your room doing? You were so organized! Any artists on board? Do you do your own laundry? Are the stars amazing? Will you do most of the stops in the med even though you had to go around?

      Great questions and will cover soon. Yes, we are visiting most of the original Med ports, not all, but most and a couple new ones.
