Day 87 At Sea

Today was a fantastic day at sea, very sunny with a nice cooling breeze.  I spent the day just chatting with friends and a bit of reading.  Getting a little frustrated that the ship is still under code red for gastrointestinal illnesses.  It has been over two weeks and I fear that there is no end in sight.  This has been very hard on the crew who are doing their best and not exactly pleasant for the guests.  I certainly hope it is cleared up before we reach Ft.
