11/23/08: Day 29: Sea Day 1 of 6

So, aside from the little mention of the day earlier, things are pretty mellow today. The ride has stayed fairly rocky but nothing out of control. Little memories are coming back to me from our last contract. For whatever reason it was almost always smooth on the Mediterranean…probably because it is pretty well sealed off from the Atlantic. Since the waves started the little signs are there that say “this could last a while”…they aren’t actual signs, they’re barf bags that are placed by the garbage cans in front of each elevator.

Today was eating, Italian learning, working out, and more Settlers of Catan. After that we decided to go see if bowling was open. We had heard it wasn’t because of the waves…but it was. It is what I call Wave Bowling. You can throw a straight ball with no spin and have it hook. You can throw a ball with a lot of spin and have it go down a straight line. If you’re Brett you can throw a ball like an old man throwing an orange into a fire (as Deanna says) and have it catch major wave action straight into the gutter.

I can’t tell yet if we’re starting to go a little crazy…we might be.
