Monday

M is for Movement
Heavy seas, tumultuous even; Dan slept like a baby:) i am Thankful he did. I did not. I spent a good portion of the night praying. Praying for the captain and staff, my personal list of loved ones and for God's mercy on the Seas. I rarely feel so vulnerable.This would be no place for Pilgrim! the decks are barred: where to relieve as the Norwegian Pearl lists . It was good to awaken! And glimpse the camera on the bow:

Dan wants to reset his clock so we are on the same body rhythm after many "see you in bed"  years. We shower quickly and make out way to the dining room. The seas are rough! The Port of Astoria is closed, we will be at sea today. After a good breakfast we dance our way to the Library. Muster is mandatory at 10:30. We sit high in the Stardust Lounge, a bit of vertigo then. Lunch in the Summer Palace is followed by a nap; deep peaceful sleep. Dan wakes me at 5 for cocktail hour. We seek the quiet refuge of the Sky Bar where we settled to read earlier now for a drink. We are needing air and sit in the sheltered area by the empty pool to watch the sunset. There is little to do today but Rest, Rock upon the roiling ocean and Refresh. Not mermaid sightings, but i call them Serena and Seaphora, Faith and Delphina.

Then we dress for dinner and enjoy the cuisine at La Cucina, the Italian offering. 

After a night cap we return to our cabin
Sleep Well!
