Feeling it.

This last cruise was the first one where I think we all suffered from being homesick. Maybe it’s the holiday season, but we all started to talk a bit more about home. Being here until May is starting to look like a long time on this ship.

Finished our first sea dive at Los Arcos, and it was amazing. The first time going underwater was a little nerve-wracking, but the second one, done on your own with your dive buddy, was really easy and we took an amazing dive through reefs, following a manta ray. There were moments that I wanted to yell out in excitement it was so great. My dependence on air prevented me. Then they drove us in the motor boat back to the pier, and it was a great ride back. Chef George suggested he drive us right up to where the tender boats drop us off, but one of our crew said that the Mexican government wouldn’t let us on the ship without going through security. That would have been great, though.
