Sea Day 9

After losing an hour last night, we and most everyone else slept in. That or they were all in line for one of the 4 washers or dryers. Clay has bought 2 more tokens and can't get to the end of the cruise without washing, so we are shooting for tomorrow, the Canal crossing, in the hope that enough people will have theirs done today or it is their first canal crossing and they'll be busy watching. We'll see. Today has been a quiet and lazy day. Even the 10:15 mandatory life boat drill went by quickly due to the fact that the Captain let us leave after mustering and donning life jackets and we didn't have to go outside to the lifeboats. Clay spotted flying fish for the first time today. I had been looking since we left Cabo. We have had some birds with us since we left Cabo San Lucas and today we watching them catching flying fish and eating them. That was new for us seeing anything hunting flying fish. No wonder they have been so scarce and are so rare and small. I saw the weirdest and unexpected thing this afternoon as watching for flying fish. We sailed right past something on the surface. First I thought it was trash, then an injured sea turtle, as it went right under the balcony I could see 2 heads, 2 backs and about 6 flippers. It was a copulating pair of sea turtles!

Internet has been spotty since last night. We have the O Club reception this evening. We have dinner reservations for the last time this cruise at Polo after that. I will try to post this now. If anything else worthh noting occurs, I will post it later.
