March 27, 2024 Sea Day, 39 days of 138 days to go

 What a nice surprise. Last night we looked at the weather prediction and it was for a stormy day today. Instead we woke up to a brilliant sunshiny day. The sun was reflecting off the water and filled our cabin with blinding light.

Mike joined up with the blue baggo team, and for the second day in a row the blue team got it done. They were given the favorite prize at the end, Mimosas for all.

Today the captain reported 3,000 meters deep which is 9,800 feet. We have now traveled 1,111 nautical miles from Cochin, India and have 1,040 nautical miles to go to reach our next port of call. With an average speed of 16 knots we are making good time. We have 90 degrees today, and when up on the sun deck it felt all of that. While we were laying out, we began to feel sprinkles. Mike could see a dark cloud headed our way, so we went to the pool, and when the sun returned we completed our time out.

This morning we received word that our dear friend Dort is in the hospital. We are praying for her recovery, and returning to her apartment in Odd Fellows. Don and Lynda have been visiting her and Don has been reading our blog to her, so I will include pictures to show you how sweet it is.

Tonight at dinner we enjoyed a view of a beautiful rainbow.

Trivia we were back to our usual score of 12 out of 20 points. There is always tomorrow. We look forward to our next win sometime in the future.

It is another hour back on our clocks tonight. We will enjoy the extra hour of sleep.
