We recently left Capetown and are now steaming towards Madagascar towards our next port in Maritius. As we rounded the Cape of Good Hope the seas were predictably angry, and that familiar odor began to fill the ship air. The barf bags were put out and bathrooms were full. As we got around the Horn we are now enjoying much calmer seas.
As we pass the days on the ship, William and I have reconstructed my old high school basketball league and play a game about every day. We keep the standings and upcoming schedule, and have the rankings. Surprisingly, Vernonia is doing well this time around and has a good shot at the league title. His dribbling and shooting are improving, and my ability to hit an outside shot in 40+mph winds is getting better.
We are getting used to the ship life, but it's definately the most mundane and difficult part of this voyage. I am getting much better at running on a moving treadmill, and have only fell off one time this week.
I finished up my two Louis LaMour books and was getting worried about my next read when all of the sudden I spotted Lonesome Dove in a pile of soon to be discarded books. I quickly rescued it and am enjoying reading it for the second time around. My memory is so poor that it might as well be my first time reading it.
I will put the Capetown pictures and post on soon. Later..
