Tuesday the 15 Jan 2019 - A day at sea

I woke up at 430 to 26 foot waves  and lots of wind. I went back to bed and read trying to fall asleep again but did not. Margie got up at 530 and it was still pretty bad out, weather and wave wise. We staggered to O’Sheehan’s and had breakfast around 6 and by the time we had finished breakfast it had started to calm down considerably. When we got back t the room around 7 the wave height was only 14 feet.
 We read our books after breakfast and I fell asleep again . I love having naps in the morning. We went for tea at 10 up stairs and ended up eating a second breakfast and watching the sea. Back to our room and I typed up our story for the previous days trips. By 11 the waves were only about 4 feet
At 12 we started to talk about going for lunch and at 1230 we went down to the grand but the menu was the same as before so we went up stairs again to the cafe.
 After lunch we came down and we saw Dolphins and were so excited to get photos and video of them. Vignesh came to clean our room and we ended up talking with him about his travels, his wedding plans, his sisters wedding plans and where he worked before in Dubai.  
We went for a up of tea to O’Sheehan’s around 330 and then went to the customer service to find out where the gratuities payment went that was on our bill. It seems that the payment we make of 650 dollars is split between the kitchen staff and the housekeepers so we figured out how much more of a tip we wanted to give Vignesh as he has been so fun making us all kinds of towel animals and chatting with us about his life back in India.
 I Called Chris and we chatted about what was happening in Comox with the grandkids, with Coryn, with the cats, the dogs, and the weather. He  and the kids are enjoying going skiing on Mount Washington very much. Thy have now been three times. Margie called Bill her son and talked about what was happening in Edmonton.
Read for awhile and fell asleep again. Love vacations. We went upstairs to the garden cafe for the country and western night… grilled veggies , corn on the cob, beans.  There  was a lovely sunset. 
The show that night was a broadway singer who started out well but ended up just belting them out very loudly. At first we thought she sounded better than the last time we saw her because of where we were sitting. Last time we were closer to the stage on the floor and this time we were up in the balcony but in the end it did not change a thing. Well we knew the words to most of the songs she sang.

We read for awhile when we got back to our room. I fell asleep quickly and Margie told me that she took the book out of my hand and turned off my light. Thanks big sister. All in all I figure any day with 4 meals and two naps and rainbows  is a great day.
