Day 7 - Sea Day

Today was a whole lot of nothing! We were both up early (in fact, Andrew was up most of the night because he took a Sudafed hoping to fix his ear issues). I went to the gym for a couple of hours while Andrew hung out in the cabin. After breakfast, we laid out on the balcony. Unfortunately, we had to be bundled up as it is very windy (gust to 40 mph) and overcast. It was obviously not too chilly as I fell asleep for a good hour! After lunch, we spent an hour reading in one of the lounge areas that has nice, comfy chairs before Andrew headed off for a nap to try and catch up on his missed hours last night. I spent the rest of the afternoon moving around the ship reading. The ship is all decorated for Christmas, so it's fun to wander around and see all the decorations!

Dinner tonight was a formal evening, so lobster was served. It is always better than I expect it to be! Now we’re back in the room as the show does not appeal to us. We’ll just read or maybe get a movie on the TV. Tomorrow morning we dock in Grand Turk at 8 am. We were scheduled to do a dive on the wall but had to cancel this morning as Andrew still cannot get his ear to clear, and it would be impossible for him to equalize on a dive. We’re both a bit disappointed but it isn’t worth the risk of him bursting an ear drum. Instead, we’ll either rent a golf cart and roam around the island, or find a snorkel boat that will take us out to the wall. It would be nice to see it, even if it’s from the surface, instead of 80 feet below.
