While there was some roll overnight, today the sea and the sailing is
smooth and we make good time. When the sea is so smooth, the ship's
wake is visible much further behind us.
We are south of Newfoundland, near the Grand Banks. Morning comes later
as we move further north. It was still dark at 0730.
I wonder if a house or a bed could be constructed with a gentle roll.
Today marks the end of the third week already. Time flies. Nibbles
from home may last another 3 weeks.
Actually saw another ship this morning. It was a fishing trawler or
factory.
Paul asked about the food.
This is not a French restaurant, thankfully. Food is plentify, and
prepared to satisfy European and Asian preferences. I ask for smaller
portions, and skip courses.
Our 2 tables each contain a large lazy susan, with meal appropriate
condiments, bread, fruit, yogurt, water, and extras. At breakfast, it
also contains milk and juice. At the other 2 meals, it contains my kind
of salad, soup, perhaps oven warm bread, or warm macaroons, other
pleasant surprises. Soup at noon today was wonton soup.
Breakfast is cold cerial, eggs to order, bacon or ham or sausage, toast,
juice, fruit, coffee or tea.
The main course for the noon and evening meals has been beef, pork,
veal, chicken, or fish, plus a vegetable. There is a choice of
starches; potato, or steamed rice, perhaps fried rice, or rice prepared
other ways. The protein at noon today was tilapia. We have also had
spaghetti and meatballs, hamburgers, fried noodles, beets, sweet and
sour cabbage, steak, and other good things I don't remember. There may
be a dessert or ice cream. Coffee or tea.
