Out to Sea...and Up to Sea...and Down to Sea...and Up to Sea...

Two days at sea. Open sea. Wide open. Jeri sees giant jellyfish 'the size of her room' and we both witness strange looking green helmet headed squid. We wonder if we're drinking too much early on. Several hours after departing the harbour, which was exciting and felt like a celebration, the boat started to move. Up and down. Side to side. To where you'd have to hold on to the walls to walk and and walking was like the funhouse up and down stairs. We all sort of holed up in our cabins and the dramamine was freely flowing. Poor James was down for the count for a good 24 hours and room service was sending up candied ginger and ginger ale and toast. Rita was skittering around looking in and knitting up her brow worriedly. A storm was causing the dramatic pitching and rolling and the captain eventually came on the intercom to say it would be over when we arrived at Puerto Montt a day later. Jeri and I got it together and went to 'Team Trivia!' and had a good laugh at our fellow travellers, who really take their trivia to a new level. The four of us managed to make it to a show with entertainers Joe Garry and David Frazier doing a campy take on Cabaret. Funny, cute and impossible not to find endearing. We hear they're doing 6 shows while we're here on board and the next one is "Forever Pablo: A musical biography of Pablo Neruda, Chile's Greatest Poet". I wouldn't miss that for the world!! How do you do a musical about Pablo Neruda??? 

I guess I will let you know...stay tuned.
