After spending 8 hours in the heavy, hot and humid rain forests of Costa Rica, a sea day is a nice break. No obligations or early morning meeting places for the day's excursions.
Instead, we wake up whenever we want and take our time doing everything and anything -- whether it's a long shower, a no-hurry lunch from The Grill or reading poolside.
Today, as we sail past Nicaragua, El Salvador and Honduras we plan on doing just that -- nothing.
We actually won't arrive in tomorrow's port, Huatulco until around 1:00 p.m. tomorrow -- maybe sooner if the Captain "floors it."
In all directions around the ship, only blue ocean is visible. But back at the mid-ship pool, we find natural wonders of the "at sea."
Men and women with no shame, bright red bellies, gorilla-like back hair and some of the uglies hats known to man.
It doesn't make it better that the pool is "endless" -- there's a 2-foot high wall around the perimeter of the pool so water doesn't escape during rough seas. But that also means when we look up from our reading, we watch as a large man moves from lying down in the 1-inch water around the pool and slowly executes a not-so-graceful turn into the pool itself. Very Discovery Channelesque.
After a Horizon Court dinner (remember, today's a day of no obligations, so dinner's included in that thought), we went downstairs for a comedy/magic show in the Universe Lounge.
The entertainer said if the magic trick didn't work, it's suddenly the comedy portion of the show. Hmm. Despite all his tricks, his routine was pretty elementary... and boring.
