Sea Day #2- Bay of Bengal

March 6, 2025

Another relaxing day on our way to Sri Lanka.  We are in the shipping lanes because there are lots of big ships to see.  This must be the equivalent of the Interstate on the Indian Ocean.  Fortunately, they’re all about 2-3 miles away per Tod!

We decided to work out a bit and go down to the “promenade deck” which is on deck 3.  It has a wooden decking and goes completely around the ship.  Three times around = 1 mile.  It’s all under shade so it is a nice alternative to going to a crowded gym.  I set my watch for an “outdoor walk” and was pleased and shocked to see that I completed 14.87 miles in an hour with an average pace of 4.03 minutes per mile.   Move over Usain Bolt!  Tod needed to remind me to put my watch on “indoor walk” because the watch was using GPS to track me.  Since the ship was moving while I was walking, it was tracking the ship and not me.  And here I was all ready to enter the Senior Olympics in race walking…
