At about midnight the
ships fog horn began. At 2am I had to get up and take my watch to listen for
fog horn responses night was thick with fog swirling about the ship and I could
not see the water. Also, I could not hear any other signals so I decided to let
the officers and deck crew manage the navigation and returned to bed. About 5
am the horns stopped, we had a rain shower and the sky cleared.
This is a sea day. We
had a leisurely breakfast, got some ironing done in the guest laundry and
pottered bout. This allows for ship exploring, meeting others, settling in and
resting up.
