ST HELENA TO RIO (DAY2)
8 December 2006- Friday
2nd of 5 full days at sea.
Usual am routine, seas are calm, sky is overcast as it seems to be every morning but clears off in the afternoon. Successfully uploaded some blogs. Spent time making albums of my many pictures- and then captioning them. I may be glad for a few days at sea because it's turned into more time-consuming work than I expected- of course, I'm also cropping, enhancing, etc. HP has got a great program- may make me look like a professional. Of course, there's always the time spent eating- lunch I can do in less than half an hour, but since I eat in the dining room for dinner it's always 1 to 1 and a half hours and usually rush that to catch the first show. Other events on Friday was the magician, who at 11am was out on pool deck to be put into a straight jacket, put inside a box with holes in it which was then chained and padlocked before lowering it into the pool. Two minutes later they hauled it out and it was empty and the magician appeared on the 3rd deck above the pool- soaking wet. Don't know how he does any of this. Jean-pierre talked about Napolean's chefs- I was not interested, but did go to see the next episode of A&Es " Napoleon" and was a little late for dinner. Scarfed it down so I can make the first show of the Marco polo Company- these kids are good- always in synch. Unfortunately, a burly south african decided to keep time with al the somes by tapping on the table in front of me- the guy had absolutely no sense of rhythm. A hazard of travel. Put on the last DVD of Lost so I have 4 episodes to go almost hate to see it end now that I know the characters.
