Dawn - Live 11/27

Bimini obviously well shut down, but quite beautiful at night.

 

 

 

We continue to pass surprisingly-close shore features along the way (at a quick pace)...

Fascinating sights up on deck, and photos won't capture it. Wind is howling strong, and strings of whitecaps are heard crashing below. The pitch black water is littered with lights, and while some appear to be markers others may be vessels or platforms. We continue to follow the Carnival on its way out...

Back in the room. There's lots of jarring, wind noise, and creaks. And this bed looks a little too inviting...

What a great review thanks for all your hard work on sharing your vacation with all of us.

Thank you Doug and Sue! Did you see us waving from shore as you passed Meraux?

Wind continues to howl...

 

 

After being on the Breakaway and the Escape, this ship feels like a sports car cutting through the water. Current speed is 21 knots.

Who knew that there's a stronger gravitational pull on ships than on land?? Cool science fact of the day.

 

 

Edit: about to get stronger as we head to Moderno for breakfast

We pass by our original room, one of four BAs amongst the mini suites on deck 11, right next to the central elevators...

The steerage in the Garden Cafe appeared threatening as we passed by. Thankfully glass protected us from their anarchy.

 

 

Truth be told... I asked Sue if we could simply hit the buffet. Her response - "No, I think I want to sit down and relax." Of course she does.

Sue just asked me if it's true about the gravitational pull.

 

 

This is the same girl that believed me when I told her that Stevie Wonder originally named the song "Stinky but Delicious".

Just had a meeting reminder from work pop up on my phone. I won't be able to make it... too busy today.

It actually got quite toasty on the loungers. While I'm not sure if they're contoured for a 6'4" frame - they still felt great.

 

Grabbing some water and heading back to get ready.
