Sea Day/Sea Day/Gdynia

July 20th-22nd
Sea Day/Sea Day/Gdynia, Poland

There really isn’t much to talk about for any of these three days. I had In Port Manning for Gdynia, so I didn’t get off the ship. Probably the only somewhat exciting thing happened on the 21st.
I had woken up early on the 21st to go up to the gym for a spinning class, an idea the tenor player had. We both knew the instructor and Ben had been told he could go up and sit in on the class without paying the $18 fee. So we showed up at 9 am, pulled out a couple bikes, and joined the class. I’ve never done a spinning class before and considering I like biking, I thought it’d be fun. Thankfully, for once, I wasn’t dead wrong. I did enjoy the class and can certainly see its benefits – but that’s not the exciting part. The exciting part was when, after about 25 minutes into the class, the middle-aged woman ahead of me fainted. I had overheard at the beginning of the class that she was new to cycling as the lady next to her was giving tips (obviously to no avail), and right as we got into the more difficult part of the course, she started swaying and feel backwards off the right side of the bike, pretty much into my spinning wheel. I didn’t even really notice what was happening until her neighbor let out a cry of concern as the lady fell in my direction, at which point I stopped the wheel and got out of the way as she laid on the ground with slight shaking movements. The instructor rushed over and helped her as she came around while some other spa staff were notified, and within a few minutes, she was helped out of the gym and into a room where she could lie down. Last I heard she was alright, but falling off a bike never did anyone any favors (probably like tripping over cobblestones, a running theme for this cruise?). Anyways, I figured it was just another blog worthy story, thanks for reading!
