Sea Day #3, body

Apple Watch fitness app
Figuring 5 or 6 actual miles, not 22. The ship’s movement skews the tabulation. Subtracting 30 minutes for stationary workout. The rest was walking, in the 20-ish minute per mile pace.

Walked on water this week.

Monday thru Friday roughly 35 miles.

Good stuff.

Grateful.

Ps. Also enjoyed three 30-minute no-gym gym workouts (M-W-F).

Ocean sunrise from cruise ship
Things are starting to ‘cook’.

No one down there can see the brewing sunrise.

Turns out, i had a nice walk this morning. It was intentional.

Seven miles on a cruise ship takes determination. Creativity to keep it interesting is key.

Also turns out Cheryl isn’t feeling well. So we will forgo this morning’s city tram tour. Play the hand you’re dealt is sage wisdom.

Amber Cove 9am-6pm, body

Daytime moon
The Ocean is impossible to ignore. The moon is easy to. That said, i’m consistently looking at the sky. It is not a common habit.
Arrived at Dominican Republic, 8:00am local time (7:00am ship time).
6-second video: The time change caught me off guard and made me late.
12-second video: Context for today’s port of call.

Chase the sun.

Seek the sun.

Bask in the sun.

This morning’s workout and walk were mostly inside the ship.

Why?

Because even in December, the sub-tropical weather can get uncomfortably hot.

Sea Day #2, body

Shaq’s chicken for breakfast. Mileage is skewed because ship was moving. If i assume 20-minute miles for 1:40, then roughly five miles.

Your physical vibrancy is the most honest autobiography you’ll ever write.

Nassau 7am-4pm, body

Monday, fun day.

The Island is called New Providence. Nassau is the capital. Many believe that Nassau is the island’s name. That was the case for me until this morning.

One lap around a state room floor is .35 miles. Got six miles in before we disembarked ship today.

Striving for physical vibrancy is a get-to-do.

Experience has revealed to me that having to do something defines ‘work’. Getting to do something defines fun.
