Don’t let them fool you. They’re monsters 😂

 

Trixter (aka Trixie, in the back w the white nose) thinks every thing is a cat tree, especially humans. Dixie Belle (on the left) is currently missing a huge chunk of her face because reasons? I still haven’t figured out if she did it to herself or if the other goblins helped 🤷🏻‍♀️. And Pixel (aka Pixie, on the right) is the baby and she’s meaner than she looks. She’s like a little dog that believes it’s a big dog, she even fetches! Lol. 
 

but clearly you’re surrounded by cats at home, so, you get it. Can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em. I mean, you drunk texted for literal cat pics 😂😉

😆 totally get it. Except the can't live with them part. They own the castle, they just tolerate my presence 🤣

Time for bed.

 

I am back in the room and going to sleep after another wonderful day on this Transatlantic journey.

 

We will lose another hour tonight and now be three hours ahead of Eastern time. I admit this is like a video game that keeps getting progressively harder to beat the level. I know in the end it will beat the heck out of jet lag especially when I get those hours back on the return, plus one for daylight savings. Right now, though, it's tough.

 

Thanks for continuing to follow along. See you all tomorrow for the second of four sea days on the way to the Azores.

Anxiously awaiting your comments & pictures of the Azores - hear it's lovely.

Good morning from somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

 

Today is another day at sea and we have lost another hour which makes ships time currently 958.

 

Getting up now and seeing where the day takes me.

I admit I don't know much about it but talking yesterday it was described as Hawaii but cheaper. That does sound nice.

 

I'm gonna probably book something today so that I can see as much as possible since I have just the one stop here.

[jam19872016]

Scale says I lost 4.4 lbs since Sunday. I would like to believe that but it is probably not accurate with the movement of the ship. I've logged it with the knowledge it will likely jump later.

 

Steps:

 

[jam19872016]

Checked in for brunch at 1039 with a 10-20 minute wait.

[jam19872016]

Table ready at 1056.

[jam19872016]

Skillet cake, cheese grits, and ceaser salad with salmon 1110.

 

 

[jam19872016]

Heading up to start my walk. No walk with Andy today so I am on my own for motivation. 

[jam19872016]

Two miles down, two to go.

 

Cooling off with a coffee.

Came 

[jam19872016]

Came so close on ducks. Was only one behind yesterday after a good haul the day before.

 

Then nothing while she found two. 

 

Today was another good haul and I found five ducks!

 

18-16 in my favor!! 

 

Nobody's tagging them anymore it seems. 

 

Off to lunch now.

[jam19872016]

Lunch was from the buffet today.

 

 

[jam19872016]

A few lunchtime choices before the masses arrived.

Current situation: enjoying a mango daiquiri above the Lido deck. 

 

 

A couple dark clouds in the sky but overall another beautiful day out.

She is doing good. Her mood was souring but seems to be improving again. 

 

She's not super outgoing but has befriended a number of crew which is always easy to do on an extended trip and talked to a number of fellow passengers we've met along the way. 

 

Health wise she's doing OK with getting around without too much pain but does not think she will likely be able to do much sightseeing unfortunately. Her short walk in Bermuda wore her out.

They were not in the competition. They earned an honorable mention because I liked it 😆. 

 

I like your theory about gravity maybe that's the real reason Europeans are thinner than Americans 🤔
