Rockin' and Rollin'

Wow, last night was a doozy!! We dropped off to sleep only to be wakened by a storm and rough seas. I told Ronnie I felt like a can of soda rolling back and forth across the floor in the bed last night! HA!

I kept thinking there would be some kind of announcement over the intercom but it never came. I finally gave up trying to sleep and instead just read my book ("Where the Crawdads Sing") which I finished today. Ronnie got a few more hours sleep than I did so once again, our schedules were really out of sync today. I managed to go back to sleep around 5 a.m. and was still sleeping when he went to breakfast around 7 a.m. When I went to breakfast an hour or so later, I noticed that there were complimentary barf bags placed near all the elevators. Like I said earlier, Oceania's service can't be beat!

I picked up a bag, folded it and put it inside my Kindle, just in case. But thankfully I never needed it nor did I ever feel the need to take Meclizine. But it's good to know that these things are available. The sea remained rough all morning but settled down this afternoon as we continue to sail southeast toward our next port - Manta, Ecuador. We agree with the ship's decision not to stop in Peru.

So it's been a rainy, lazy day at sea with both of us working (offline) on our individual projects. The internet on this ship is "ok" at best and non-existent at worst. Perhaps it's terrible today because it's a sea day and everyone else is trying to use it as well. On a happier note, our next door neighbors are finally out of Covid quarantine so they can begin to enjoy the cruise as well. 

I'll include a few photos I took around the ship in hopes of making this post less boring.
