Savour these pictures! Rarely am I awake early enough to record the start of such a beautiful day! I’m impressed. What a wonderful start to the second of three sea days between New York and St. Thomas, U.S.V.I.
I turned on the TV shortly after taking these pictures. The news, unlike the calm warm of outside, was grim. I can’t get my head around the Russia/Ukraine crisis. I assume now is not the time to sell my Carnival shares! But, outside, it is “millpond calm” and clear skies suggest a scorcher for the hours to come. I shall capitalise on this fine day, and “deck-pound” until the time Noon morphs into 13.00hrs without an hour’s passage of actual time. Yep, the clocks are advanced an hour at midday to GMT-4.
I am not sure how far south we have steamed since leaving New York at around 8 o’clock on Tuesday evening. The Navigational Channel wasn’t functioning last time I checked. I guess we might be level with Florida. I had a larger breakfast than usual from around 09.30 hrs, having not slept particularly well last night. I will make up for it tonight! Last night, I made the mistake of allowing the phone to update itself. That has invalidated my on board password and number. For the life of me, I haven’t a clue how to reset this. Oh! Modern technology! The nice man in the Library should be able to get me started again. He was busy, but the Purser’s Office was able to help. I shall write more later.
All the best, David, 10.27, Grand Lobby, QM2
