Sea Day

Good morning from the South Western side of the continent of Africa.  I slept in this morning till about 6:30 am and then I went to the gym. The sun was shining and it looked like it would be a beautiful day. Unfortunately by the time I got home and woke up Megan for the day the fog had rolled in and hung around throughout the day. We did get to hear the ships fog horn periodically throughout the day so that was cool. They had whole dragon fruit in the Neptune lounge when I grabbed my tea this morning so I grabbed one and we took it with us to the Pinnacle Grill for breakfast. They cut it up for us and it was a great addition to our breakfast. After breakfast we went to our Project Linus time. Megan turned in her second completed blanket today and got recognized for her work. After project Linus we went home where I spent time catching up on my blog posts. I’m almost there. Megan had tutoring at 12:30. I had acupuncture this afternoon as well. I ran into my masseuse and she was blessed by a visit from her family in Durban and they brought her some things from home. They brought her some fabric that she uses to make handbags, but she didn’t want them to bring it and it is now putting her over her weight limit for her luggage when she gets off soon, so she gave it to me. It is beautiful South African fabric with annuals printed on it. I look forward to having it made into something when I get home. They also had an auction on the ship today to benefit a school in Namibia, where we are going tomorrow. We picked up some glass jewelry pieces to give away later. Lastly we spent part of our day working on the bid sheets for our upcoming silent auction for Project Linus. They are all printed up and ready to go. We went to the dinning room for our 5:00 dinner time. After dinner I continued back with my blog catch up. The wifi has been very spotty today. It’s been pretty miserable actually. I had eloquently written a blog post and the system glitched and it was completely deleted. So I got to write it again. Megan went out and played cards for the first time in quite a while with  Gail and Marty.  She had a good time and got to catch up with our dear friends. We were up till about 11:00p which I am sure I will regret when the 6:30am alarm goes off tomorrow. We have an early morning, it is a tender port AND we have to do immigration inspection around 7:00am. It will make for a busy morning. Hope you all sleeping peacefully and that the storms have subsided in Ca!
