Grand Caymen (Sea Day)

Feb 28th
Grand Cayman (turned sea day)

We were scheduled to be in Grand Cayman today, a tender port that I’ve visited on the Navigator, but the captain decided to sail past it due to rough conditions that would have made tendering difficult, and considering the passengers on this ship, I’d agree with that choice. Unfortunately, it means I have to miss my port, but instead I get a sea day to try to accomplish a few things.
Not a lot got accomplished though. I used the gym for the first time on this ship two days ago, and after pushing myself too hard after too long a break from lifting, my arms are so sore today that I can neither fully straighten nor bend them, making usual activities slightly more difficult. I actually had a really difficult time putting my neck strap (for my sax) on my neck due to the stiffness. It kind of sucks, but it is what it is. So today I spent some time reading, ate my meals outside, worked on my computer, and played a play on/off for a comedian that night. I’ve also recently opened my French language recordings, so I’m trying to learn some French, the most productive activity of the day.
Tomorrow is Cozumel. No big plans, I’ve been there enough to know what there is to see, and chances are that I won’t even get off the ship, but we’ll see where we’re docked and how my arms are moving tomorrow morning. Thanks for reading!
