Feb 16, 2013 day at sea

Today we travelled between Lima, Peru and Arica, Chile. It was a little cooler than the previous few days as we head south, with today’s' temperatures in 22C/72F range, with the speed of 19-20 knots by the ship, it felt cooler out on the decks.

This morning, on the 10^th deck, overlooking the pool and the big screen movies, I saw a number of people playing cards, dominoes, mahjong, and relaxing in the whirlpool watching the ocean. Others on that deck were watching a movie, reading or visiting. Jim and I were reading, watching a movie, and watching the ocean, all at the same time.

At different parts of the day, a number of SASA people have been taking part in the trivia contests, and lots were dancing in the evening. We went and contributed to the cruise line in the casino, and listened to some music.

The main show in the evening was the Carnival Splendor dancers and band with 'Vroom'. Tomorrow we are not scheduled to get into Arica early, so more time for music, dancing, and late night snacking tonight. And have a look for the Southern Cross in the sky. It was seen last night but I will likely not see it, as we do not stay up that late.

Time change again tonight so we are now going to be 4 hours ahead of the Pacific coast.
