21 Jan 1000 – We are travelling west and can see Cuba off to the south. Just escaped Ft Lauderdale yesterday before the temp was due to drop to near freezing. Champagne sailaway was very festive yesterday. With all great music and the free wine, everyone was in a good mood – Clyde was dancing on the ships rail as we headed out to sea. One of the first people we saw when we came on board was a casino dealer that greeted us like old friends (Brian spent a lot of time in there on the last cruise). Cloudy today, moderate seas and temp in the 80s. Today is a day at sea and Clyde is planning a trip to the gym to get off to a good start on keeping those pounds off.
