The distance between our last stop in the Canaries and the Azores is just enough that it makes total sense to have a sea day tucked in between this set of ports. We have also gained back another hour which helps, I think….
My morning was spent, again, upstairs in the forward lounge. I skipped the Military/Veterans Get together in favor of just sitting and seeing who was going to show up for the Knitter’s and Stitchers at 1000. There were about 10 of us, off and off. Two of the women from before didn’t make it, but we added a hand quilter and a New York woman who I think is now hooked on the idea of piecing and quilting a present for her new (and first) grandchild.
I made progress on both The Vintage Black Sampler and another project that I am making as a test stitch. I really like it, but found, with my usual inability to count, that I have made a couple of errors far enough back that I would need to start over. My other choice is just to enjoy the pattern, do a bit of fudging and finish it out. I will include it when (if?) I ever get the cross-stitch pages updated and the pattern is released.
There was a fair bit of rock ‘n roll today with seas up to 4 meters. This is an older ship (2001) and her stabilizers aren’t as great as some of the new ships. OTOH, it was much milder than I have experienced on smaller ships (such as the Star Legend). I headed back to my cabin for the evening so that I could listen to audiobooks without having to use ear buds and to not look at green faces….
