Sea Days

April 14th-17th
Sea Days

I’m about 2 weeks late writing out this one...but there really wasn’t much going on. We crossed the international date line on the 16th, meaning we had two 16th’s in a row, which was interesting. This was accompanied by a few too many Groundhog’s Day jokes, of which I enjoyed telling people about where that movie was filmed. Otherwise the only other news is that I’d been sick for these sea days. I’ve been fighting something for a while, but it wasn’t till now that it really took hold. The 14th I had absolutely no voice and was extremely congested. I ended up going to the ship’s doctor, something I’ve never done, and was given a nebulizer (I think) for my voice and some antibiotics. My voice came back slightly on the 15th, but even two weeks later I’m still noticing certain weaknesses in my voice.
So the five sea days passed and I fought whatever disease was waging war inside my sinuses. Tomorrow we’ll be stopping at our first island, Rarotonga.
