In the North Sea heading for NewCastle

On the Disney Magic and having a great time!

Currently we’re nearing the end of our first day at sea on the Magic. Today was an ‘at sea’ day and relatively quiet. The weather has been excellent. We had a chocolate and wine tasting this morning. Fun, interesting and tasty.

We’ve been meeting folks on the cruise this time. I guess we’re becoming a bit more gregarious this time around. We grabbed dinner with a number of folks who had been on the pre-cruise facebook group and have seen several of them around the ship since then.

So far I’ve taken a few pictures, mostly sunrise and ships on the horizon (and a bunch from Dover and London before we sailed out). We saw a huge wind farm this morning while chatting with a couple we had met at the dinner and I grabbed a few shots of that. Currently my outgoing bandwidth is limited (pay per meg with a first level limit of 100 MB) so I’m going to keep the picture postings down until I get home.

I’m going to try to keep posting as things progress and may extend entries during the day as more happens.

Getting ready for formal-ish night tonight. We didn’t bring full formal wear as our weight and bags were limited in order to make getting here sane.

A few shots from the last few days in reduced size.
