Day 106 Saturday April 20, 2018. AT SEA

Today, is our first sea day of five, to reach Puerto Rico  🇵🇷 and all kinds of things are happening on the ship. We both skipped our class in the morning, I skipping watercolor class, because I wanted to catch up the blog, and Ed skipped Tai Chi, because the ship was rocking and rolling so much he was worried he would fall. 

So at 10, Ed went to the lecture about the natural history of the Cape Verde islands, and learned some amazing facts. Then at 11, he attended a talk with Captain Jonathan, and he found that interesting, like a couple years ago, this ship evaded some pirates in the Yemen area speeding up to 29 knots!  So the Amsterdam can really move out when needed. 

Right after that they announced that they had copies of the itinerary for the 2020 World Cruise, it’s 128 days for the full World Cruise, and very heavy in Antarctica. Needless to say this was the talk of the day. 

Other then that not a lot going on, except we got our luggage tags for shipping our bags home, so I guess we need to start packing, and see if we are going to need to buy another bag, to get all the goodies home. LOL
