\"a5bd27c601c0c6ef71dfe657148c8f6c\"<\/a>On most of my other ships, embark day is sort of known as the day the \u201cship gets revenge\u201d the crazy day, the day where you start and simply don\u2019t stop. Oddly enough I\u2019ve found that\u2019s just not the way here.<\/p>\n

Of course it helps that these days I\u2019ve gone back to my long thought lost tendency to \u201csleep like a cat\u201d\u2026just flop and pass out, boneless, deep, dreamless\u2026that\u2019s a blessing out here. I thought I\u2019d lost the ability a long time ago, but apparently I\u2019m finally relaxed enough for it to come back.<\/p>\n

Anyway, embark day here actually has a lovely lazy start\u2026I do have to wake up early (ish) so that I can open the library for the handful of CVG guests we have on board each week (though none of them actually come<\/em> to the library that early) \u2013 but after that I don\u2019t start work until the afternoon! This is nearly unheard of!<\/p>\n

When we\u2019re in Boston, Amras and I usually use our brief amount of time off together in the morning to head out and window shop and generally wander (one of these days we\u2019re going to do the Swan Boats), but neither he nor I are fans of Montreal so usually we both crawl back into bed and call each other in time for lunch if we happen to remember. Which sometimes we don\u2019t, so we end up not seeing each other until the welcome aboard party band set \u2013 which is to say I sit and eat my lunch and listen to them play\u2026<\/p>\n

Despite the lazy start though once work does<\/em> start it tends not to stop; however, so far this crowd seems substantially less demanding than last weeks. They\u2019re getting harder and harder to predict. Week before last we thought we\u2019d have them eating out of our hands, and then the ratings came in\u2026ouch! So we are remaining cautiously optimistic if nothing else!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
