The Open Sea

We have been onboard for nearly 24 hours now and it has been great. Although my husband, the son of a sailor (yes, I sing Jimmy Buffet in my head every time I say that) thought he may be sea sick before leaving port he is doing very well (his Dad is actually a captain, not just another sailor) We can feel the boat rocking, most of the time it is like gently rocking a baby to sleep, however we have taken a few deeper pitches.

This morning we woke up and went to the fitness center and pool before breakfast. It was much easier to run on the treadmill looking over the ocean than cold wet weather at home. Afterwards we attended a guest lecture about the Spanish culture. We then hunted down some smoothies, and have now found a warm, sunny, and quiet spot to sit in the "Persian Garden". It is the perfect place to implement one aspect of Spanish culture into our life... The siesta!
