It's been another largely uneventful couple of days as we make our way across the Atlantic. We must be getting closer to Europe as the weather has cooled and today is a day of overcast skies and rain.
We will be making an unplanned stop in Funchal tomorrow evening due to a medical issue with a guest. It will be a quick one and the captain has said that it should not affect our arrival time into Lisbon. At least the 40 knot wind continues to push us along and the sailing has been relatively smooth despite the 3 meter swells.
Today's Rule of Civility seems appropriate for these Covid times in places like cruise ships: Rule #5. If you cough, sneeze, sigh, or yawn, do it not loud but privately; and speak not in your yawning, but put your handkerchief or hand before your face and turn aside.
Peace and blessings,
Linda and Larry
Hope the guest is OK.

ReplyDeleteFunchal is the capital city of Portugal's Madeira archipelago. It's backed by hills, and known for its harbor, gardens and Madeira wine cellars. The centuries-old Funchal Cathedral, which mixes Gothic and Romanesque styles, is notable for its carved wooden ceiling. Fronting the harbor is the São Tiago Fortress, built in the 1600s. It now houses the Contemporary Art Museum, with a large collection of Portuguese works. ― Google
ReplyDeletePerhaps you could go ashore and have a glass of Madeira.
