Swim Call!

We had a swim call today.

Basically, that means that people can jump off the side of the ship and cavort around in the ocean for an hour. In the many years I've been on this ship, it's the first time.

You'd think that would be fairly common; but there are a dozen issues, from scheduling to water temperature to dangerous sealife, that can cancel it. So we're enjoying the rare opportunity.

We're also grilling lunch on the flight deck, and dueling with pummel sticks. (Pictures may be added when I get back to shore; there are security issues that prevent me from uploading them from here.)

It's a good day!
