Grand Cayman
Well another day, same old gig, different port. We are in Grand Cayman today. This is a tender port. That means that you can't dock the ship. We stay out at anchor and tenders come up to the side of the ship and ferry people back and forth to shore. I like Cayman, it is where I fell in love with Cuban coffee, and what better place to find Cuban coffee then at my favorite cigar store. I had wanted to get some coffee to send home for Christmas, but they have been out for a while now. They say that the shipment is stuck in Cuba. My "hookup" is heading to Havana in a few days, and will be back before the ship comes back in two weeks. So he told me he would try and remember to bring some coffee back with him, since I have been waiting for so long.

Anyway yeaterday was interesting. One of our skaters broke his ankle during warmups. So now we are short one skater. I don't think we are going to be getting a replacment, but one can hope. So for the distant future we are in a perminate reblock.

Oh if you are a bit confused by me saying skater, instead of dancer, it is because I work in an ice rink. Most large ships today have at least one or two theatres of some kind. One for large scale production shows, and one is more like a lounge. I will get into more about these things later. But on the ship I work on we also have an ice skating rink. Kinda cool, no pun intended.

Well only one show today, then I think I am going to fix a few cybers that were giving me some trouble yesterday, and maybe reopen the studio color that is being a pest. Wish me luck.
