UWC Day 075 – Cruising Day – Another much needed day of catching up

Through 3 more days worth of pictures, very close to getting all caught up on photos and the blog.

Content Creator Group

There was a group live chat at 10:30am (on TikTok I believe) and since I was awake, I ended up going to say hi to friends and support. Mostly, we wanted to focus on the positivity and diversity of our group (and inclusion) rather than all the divisive talk going on all around the ship about a myriad of topics (and the Africa rerouting vote).

Was really good to be with folks and see everyone back on the ship together again as well.

Photo Editing

Got another 3 days worth of photos sorted through, and started looking for a more sustainable way to save off all the RAW files from the camera. Was going to do some AWS Glacier Deep storage, and just pay the cost for the year, but found that since I was a Prime member, I had unlimited storage on Amazon Photos as well (until they change it like Google Photos did many years ago). Started uploading all the RAW files as a backup from the many hard drives I’ve been carrying as well.

Humans…

Everyday around 6pm they bring out popcorn by the pub. I went to go grab some popcorn, and saw someone blatantly ignore the scoop to scoop popcorn, use her hands to dig into the bowl and then eat some out of her hand, and then grab more.

Ridiculous.

I left without grabbing any.

Birthdays!

Headed up to Windjammer real quick to say happy birthday to a fellow guest and new friend that I’ve met on the cruise. Didn’t realize everyone was actually there and grabbing dinner, but said hi and mingled for a bit before heading downstairs to meet Nate and mom for dinner.

Food

Had some shanghai noodles and red velvet cheesecake at dinner.

Entertainment

A couple more episodes of Taskmaster NZ before turning to more photo editing until around 2am and then passed out hard.

Running Update

Got a longer run, trying to test the knee a bit. It was a little less windy from yesterday (like a lot less windy), and got a nice run in, and knee feels relatively stable….definitely needs some strengthening. We’re about halfway to French Polynesia!
