Our position at noon today is still off the coast of Columbia and approaching abeam the Gulf of Venezuela on our way to Curacao.  It is 79 degrees and very windy (26 knots/30 mph).

                        Because of the wind we are experiencing some ship movement today.

LAST NIGHT:

                                                  Interdenominational worship service

                                                           Another sunset in Cartagena

                                                              Dinner in Prime 7

                                                          My dinner.  Meat was tough again.

               Rebecca had crab legs (they had removed the crab meat for her).  Very good.

                                                   Of course, I had the popcorn sundae.

Crystal Cashmore's pre-dinner show was fantastic.  Captain chose to leave early and the bow thrusters covered up the first 15 minutes of her show.

TODAY:

        The spa/gym is in forward part of the ship on deck 7, same deck our suite is on but we are midship. This morning while on the treadmill I was looking out the windows and during my hour on the treadmill I saw thousands and thousands of very little flying fish getting out of the ship's way.  These fish were an inch or two long and flew from a foot to 15 feet very close to the water.

        Lazy day at sea today.  At 6pm this evening there will be the Seven Seas Society cocktail party in the theater.  Tonight's dress is formal optional so I will be wearing my tux and Rebecca one of her St John's outfits.  We love getting all dressed up.  Our very favorite entree, miso glazed seabass, will be served in Compass Rose tonight.

        Tonight's headliner entertainer is a comedian, Paul Adams.  We have never seen him before so probably be sitting in back of the theater in case we need to make an early departure.

        I will not have a tour in Curacao tomorrow so may just walk into town.  We were here on February 1st so did the trolley tour of the city already.  We will be overnighting in Curacao and do have a tour on Wednesday morning.

        Big day tomorrow as the mandatory wearing of masks on board will be dropped.  Also tomorrow some crew members will be leaving the ship.  Some going to Voyager as it is ginning up to cruise again.  Some going home for a month vacation so that when they return their contracts will be 9 to 10 months long.  Basically, the ship was crewed at one time so Regent did not want them all going back on vacation at one time.
