Crossing the Atlantic from Lisbon, Portugal

Tuesday through Monday , October 29-November 4, 2013
We experienced a fantastic crossing of the Atlantic Ocean going from east to west for the first time. On the first day of our trip we experienced 30 foot swells so there was a lot of rocking and rolling , but the remainder of the trip was perfectly calm, blue seas during the six sea crossing days.


What have we been doing?

Walking the quarter mile track...usually 3 to 5 miles everyday.

Watching movies on the outdoor big screen and in the theatre...White House Down, The Man of Steel, The Lone Ranger, After Earth, The Great Gatsby  




Going to see great shows in the evening...our favorites were Stephen Bayliss, an outstanding British singer of pop hits, Nick Lewin, comedian-magician


Going to lectures about cars of the future, our destinations, speaking Spanish, future fuels, pirates of the past

Reading....The White Dress, The Husband's Secret, A Captain's Duty, The Drop


Listened to some great music, especially a talented musical trio from Manilla, Phillipines who played American top 40's


Experienced a total solar eclipse...which hasn't happened in five hundred years. From our spot in the Atlantic, it was dark and dim during the morning. After 12 noon, the sun was so bright.

Swimming, Biking in the gym, sitting in the hot tub and the sun



Doing crossword puzzels and sudukos




And last but not least....relaxing! No cooking! No Cleaning!
