I was surprised to see that there is apparently a dock there now: Roy for Rich

True. I think the one silver lining for @kazu is it's Puerto Vallarta and not Matzaan. Roy

I hope Kathi is getting closer to being able to travel. Roy

Thanks @leerathje Lou & Dave, and fellow addicts. Prayers for Kathi. Roy

Great to hear my next BHB tooting. Roy

Just one toot? Oops. Lots more rumbles. Roy

Looks like Beyond is moving. Roy

I think "Active" seems to be when the pilot boards the ship so hopefully NA will be close behind Beyond,=. Roy

Now "Scheduled" for 15:45, right after Beyond. Roy

Today's sunrise is from my 2019 Prinsendam Grand South America and Antarctica voyage. On January 8 we visited San Blas Islands: Roy

Happy Sunday Dailyites. I'll pass on all of today's days and have not been to Ilfracombe. I love the Tennyson quote but will pass on the chili. My alternative is Papaya, Pineapple, & Orange, Turkey Roast, and Pineapple Crisp as served on MS Prinsendam January 8, 2019. It's quite a chilly day and the county positivity rate is over 16% so it will definitely be online worship today with a short walk this afternoon., Today’s care list: Kazu in hospital in Puerto Vallarta HAL Sailer DBIL in final days and family squabbles Ominous scan for Marshhawk Scrapnana From the rotation: Cruising-along niece awaiting a kidney Status of St. Louis Sal (7/1) and JAM37 (7/7) Demar Hamlin much improved but still critical Celebrations and Shoutouts: Nieuw Amsterdam (my favorite BHB) in Everglades StLouisCruisers DGD Ashley engaged Bon Voyage (Koningsdam 1/7 to 1/31) Cruisin Terri home ready for return except for bedding Welcome home crystalspin, Copper10-8,Vict0riann, Av8rix, crystalspin, and GTVCRUISER(1/14), DeeniEncinetas, Victoriann , sailingdutchty (Koningsdam to 1/31), Damcruiser (Nieuw Statendam to 1/14), Aliaschief (Onward to 1/17) Seasick Sailor and ger_77 (Rotterdam to 1/25), lindaler and ottahand7(Volendam to 3/18), and Cat in My Lap, Gail&Marty,richwmn and HorizonChaser1957 (Zuiderdam to 5/12) at sea Roy

My next BHB tomorrow. Thanks @leerathje, Lou & Dave, and Fellow Addicts. Lets keep Kathi in our prayers. I am not liking the reports from the hospital. Roy

I'd take the PP to prolong a BHB but not this time. Toots starting early. Roy

Shouldn't all those girls in Orange shirts be on HAL? Roy

When Sky is gone our BHB should be on screen. Yup! Roy

NS picking up a bit of speed. Roy

Apex in a tootin mood today. Roy

I have been at sea several times in early January but never caught a sunrise (or set) on January 7 We had a week of early spring but it's back to January. I can't complain as there was snow on the ground a year ago. This was taken just before starting my morning walk: Roy

No bobbleheads for me, and programmers are extremely important. I did google old rocks day and it's the rocks that together make up the rock we call home. I've been to Eneanada once (Carnival Inspiration) and that was enough for me. I like the quote and the meal sounds nice.
