Sunday@sea

It didn’t feel like a Sunday today – I missed going to church! Seas were a lot rougher today, making walking on the ship quite a challenge as one has to navigate the corridors in uphill and downhill mode with little warning between. About all that happened of interest today was a galley tour which Aaron and I did. It was another great field trip to see the inner workings of a ship’s kitchen. The head chef gave us the stats of the volume of food used in a day – something like 40kg of onions each day, 100kg flour, 40kg carrots, etc. In rough seas (today was still comparatively calm) the huge pots have to be kept in place on the oven top with bolted-down separators, and left-over foodstuffs get ground up and fed to the fish. Feed the fish, eat the fish.

(Happy birthday, Special K)
