Today, we were back at sea, on our way towards our next port of call, Syracuse, in Sicily. We’ve left the Aegean Sea and are now in the Ionian Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s been very windy all day, and the sea has been quite choppy. In fact, I would say that this is the first time – certainly once we’d left the coastline which we we’ve been sailing quite close to, and were in the open sea – that we’ve really noticed the movement of the ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It being a sea-day, of course, meant I had classes in both the morning and the afternoon (with an early sign-up at 8:30am, so no lie-in for us). It was ‘White Water’ today, in which I taught them how to paint a waterfall. Not a particularly easy subject – made a little more difficult by the fact that I’ve got this session and my basic ‘Negative Painting’ session the wrong way round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe it’s the accumulation of three consecutive port days, or the long day of teaching, but both Tracey and I felt particularly tired after lunch and had to resort to a brief nap, to recouperate before this afternoon’s class. After the classes, I hunkered down to some blogging and online studenting, trying desperately to catch-up with stuff. Where does time go?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
