One of the Lucite incased glass vases in the Queen's Lounge
Sept 25 - At Sea. Another day at sea. It's very sunny today but cool and windy with intermittent wave action. Not much in the way of white caps but sometimes a significant swell. Not really bad for the North Pacific in the Fall. We're supposed to have a show by the ship's singers and dancers but if the seas continue as they are we might see the singers but dancing would be risky.
About half the cocktail tables in the Queen's Lounge, the ship's main showroom, have small glass vases and jars encased in Lucite and lit from below. The give off a very warm glow, very pleasing when the house lights are down. Each one is different in color and shape. Nice touch.
Mystery over, show cancelled. I saw Mission Impossible, Ghost Protocol instead. The movie was 2 hours, 7 minutes long and didn't seem like it, a sure sign I was enjoying it. Not a great work of art, but fun.
Another hour back so the consecutive 25-hour day count is now at 6. Those 15 degree longitude lines are really close together up here.
Sept 26 – The day that never was. Today we cross the International Date Line east to west and on a ship that means you skip forward a whole 24 hours, do not pass go, do not collect $200. Don't worry; we get it back on the way home by living the same day twice. Last time we did that they showed the movie Groundhog Day for the entire 24 hours.
