The ship is shaking and rocking as I write this morning. Apparently, the winds have picked up overnight and the massive superstructure is acting like a huge sail. I find the shaking to be a small annoyance. Chris, finds it to be a sleep impediment. I have not yet stepped into the veranda to check for myself because Chris is struggling to sleep.
We enjoyed Key West yesterday. Our walking tour took us to the sights and I learned even more about the city and its history. We cut short our participation in the tour after two-and-a-half hours due the heat. The heat index was over 100 degrees and we were on a planned four hour walking tour. We checked out a few places on our way back to the ship, but once we boarded we were happy to be onboard. Our clothes were was wet as if we had been standing in a rainstorm.
We enjoyed standing at the beginning of US-1. As we have lived near and driven on this road for so many years it seems like something familiar even in distant places.
One very annoying aspect of the trip is the ship’s internet, for which I pay extra. It will not let me add images to my blog and so I will have to do that later. Hence the big empty spot at the start of my blog. I also cannot get my MacBook to connect due to some perceived security issue. I was able to post yesterday only because I went onto the veranda and used my 5G connection.
Oh well.
Today is a visit to CocoCay. We are late arriving because the ship diverted during the night into Miami for an emergency. I do not know exactly what the emergency was, but I had heard that a helicopter was planned; perhaps that changed with the winds.
We enjoyed a sail away from Key West party on the helipad until the winds came up. Then the party was ended. Rather abruptly.
We are ready for whatever adventure the day brings. Looking at the map it appears as if we are still a couple hours from CocoCay. We have not yet been advised of the new plan for the day.
