April 10--A Quiet Day at Sea

We began by paralleling the coast of Cuba pretty closely, but late this afternoon we pointed more toward Florida. I swam in the morning, without sunscreen, although after I showered I did put some on my face. This was a good thing, because I spent about half an hour up on deck at noon watching us being overtaken by a Celebrity cruise ship, and now I’m quite toasted about the shoulders. The rest of me is OK though.

I did got on a tour through the backstage of the theatre, which was all right—it was more fun listening to the dancers and techies talk about how the shows run. I was going to play bingo, since the jackpot was around $6500, but they wanted $48 dollars for a sheet of six cards, and no way was I going to lose that much for fun, so I read for a while instead.

The sea was flat today, and there wasn’t much wind, so I did spend a lot of time on deck reading in the shade. And I began eating more realistic portions at meals—just in time to leave!
