Like the previous mornings, I started the day in the quiet moments before the sun rises above the horizon. It was too cloudy to actually see the sunrise but the clouds were amazing.
Sea days are the chance to fill your day with activities, food, and drink or a chance to just watch the waves go by. I had a nice time with my sister, niece, and nephew in the pool this morning. We then attached tags to all of our ducks and got them ready to hide. All the credit for the ducks goes to my sister who created these. My contribution was creating the passport-like tag.
For those curious on the story of the ducks, it was started by a 10 year old girl named Abby who wanted to see how far ducks would travel. Passengers hide ducks on cruise ships for others to find. Those who find a duck have the option of keeping the duck as a souvenir or re-hiding it. Some people re-hide it on the same ship. Others bring it home to release on another cruise ship. The passport tags I created leave space for people to add their details if they choose to re-hide the duck. There is a Facebook group "Cruising Ducks-Original Group" (among many others) where people post photos of the ducks they find so sometimes you can track where they travel to.

We enjoyed a nice relaxing lunch in the main dining room and then sipped drinks, socialized, and people watched in a lounge in the afternoon. This evening was our first formal night.
