Above is a photo of the Fort Lauderdale skyline at sunset as we were headed out to sea. Red sky at night sailor’s delight! Hopefully this will continue \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Woke up at 7 this morning & headed to the buffet for an early breakfast. No land in sight in any direction & I was a bit concerned that other passengers might get worried about a limited food supply & start eating to calm themselves. Thankfully most were still asleep, no doubt recovering from yesterday’s hectic pace.<\/p>\n

The weather this morning is beautiful & the sea is calm. Last night’s passage was so smooth that when I woke up a few times I could not even tell if we were moving. We are far enough north & east now that the ship’s time has moved ahead 1 hour to Atlantic DST.<\/p>\n

I attended a lecture this morning about the history of the Atlantic Ocean & its influence on the world over the centuries. The speaker is from Canada & he will be giving a talk on a different subject each day. He was pretty good so I’ll add these lectures to my routine!<\/p>\n

Time to get moving again, it’s only an hour until lunch.<\/p>\n

Here’s some travel minutiae for anyone that may be interested in this kind of stuff:<\/p>\n

– Ship’s Heading: 074 degrees
\n– Distance Traveled So Far: 246 Nautical Miles
\n– Ship’s Speed: 17.6 knots
\n– Wind Speed: 11 knots
\n– Apparent Wind Speed: 30 knots
\n– Sea Depth: 15,500 feet
\n– Weather: Sunny & 22 degrees C<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
