March 18 At Sea Again -Art of the Towel

Every day room services makes the bed and leave a piece of towel art. Towel art is when a towels are used to create a design like an animal. On March 18, they left this piece which looks like a bat. They don't do this completely retail. There is a whole team that make a thousand versions of the art of the day............................................ .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... There were two days at sea going to the Bahamas and one day coming back. This is partially due to the Gulf Stream which has a strong current from south to north just east of the North American mainland.

Day One - March 12

We boarded the ship about 230pm. It left the dock by about 5pm. .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. It wasn't dark yet and we got a look at the Chesapeake Bridge that carries US 50 across the Chesapeake Bay. We ended up eating in our stateroom as Ann's walker wasn't delivered by suppertime. It was cold outside and not great for sitting on the balcony (yes we got a room with a balcony- woo hoo).

Also Day 5 - Ice sculpture March 17

Image
I was finished with the spa but hung around on deck for the ice scupturing. These two images were taken only about 35 minutes apart. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................Somehow this has became a staple of cruising entertainment. The guy who did the sculpture said he 'had to study and practice for two years' before his first paid sculpture performance but he has now been doing it for about 6 years. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ The temperature was back down in the low 70s that day (about 7 degrees below the long term average) and cloudy.
