WEDNESDAY, APR 21ST--AT SEA

Did absolutely nothing today other than go to gym and workout. We both had Slim Fast bars for lunch. It is warming up outside again now that we are heading back north towards the Equator. It has been pretty smooth sailing out here in Atlantic Ocean. Two more days at sea before arriving in Cotonou. Last night’s show featured an Australian headline entertainer, John Bowles. He sang Broadway tunes and was very good. Tonight’s show is an Irish musician, Jonathan Johnston, who plays the flute. I’m still not big on solo musicians entertaining on cruise ships. We will be dining tonight with John & Cynthia who live in Dallas but will soon be moving to Maui. I have requested Chef Fabian prepare some fried oysters and shrimp as our entrees tonight. Ask for hush puppies also and he came to our table last night and ask what they were. I told him to forget the hush puppies. We need a cajun sous chef. I’m anxious to see and taste the fried oysters. The food has been consistently excellent on the ship, except for some overcooked fish.
