Hi Folks

The Bermuda Knit Cruise is just ‘sailing’ along.

This is the first day at sea and all is well. The boarding went smoothly on Saturday and all are pleased with their staterooms.

We’ve had two ‘meetings’ so far and everyone is working on their surprise Bermuda project. No one knows what they are knitting.. They’ve all been given a ball of Classic Elite, Provence in the color “Bermuda Sand”. (I thought that would be appropriate for the trip.) They have been given instructions and a chart but I have not told them what it is that they are knitting. I haven’t shown them a finished project. There are many guesses as to what the project is but no one has guessed yet.

The food is great and you can eat all day long – if you choose. The way the food comes out of the kitchen is mind boggling. I don’t know how they do it. It must be organized chaos.

The wind is warm (72 degrees) and the seas are moderate. There was a large thunderstorm this morning and the skies opened up for about fifteen minutes, but that was early this morning long before I was about.

Folks are now waiting for us to dock in Bermuda. Many have planned excursions and all are looking forward to discovering the island.

I will let you all know how the shore trips go tomorrow.
