"Under the Weather"

The Captan said that we "were under the weather" today. The nautical meaning is to pass through the winds & we have been doing that today! He said it is suppose to clear this evening. We have about 2600 more miles to go. Today the sea has been gray & choppy with 8' waves. We tried to go for a walk but with winds around 7 knots west, even with the glass partitions blocking the wind, there was no way....so instead we took a nap. We are going 19 knots & currently due north of Caracas. The temperature is 70 F.

Last night we went to Murano's. Was delicious & service was wonderful. Fred & I had the Chateaubriand.

This morning we went on the galley tour. The gave us a list of what they would use on a typical 10 day cruise (& we are on a 17 day cruise). They will use 3,000 lbs of tenderloin, 4,500 lbs of whole chickens & 1,900 lbs of chicken breasts. Other ingredients are 2300 dozen eggs, 3800 lbs of butter, 12,300 lbs of potatoes, 1,000 gallons of ice cream & 75,000 lbs of fresh fruit. During the course of this cruise, they will prepare over 200,000 meals!
