Cruising July 2004

The Zenith is just docking at Hamilton, the capital of Bermuda. We dock right on the main street. We stayed here for two and and half days then sailed for a couple of hours to St George and stayed another day and a half. This way, you get five days on the island using your ship as your sleeping and food source. Both accomodation and food on Bermuda are pricy.

We met a great trio and visited them just about every night in the Fleet Bar which is located at the bow of the ship. They were from the Phillipines and spoke broken English but could sing all the old songs as well as some of the new ones. Often, Elle and I were the only ones there and we danced quite a bit. We met these guys often on the ship and I think they appreciated us coming to see them. It was a pity more people didn't.
On one of the earlier pictures I talked about Tropical Storm Alex. It produced twelve to fifteen foot waves coming back to New York. At one point the ship listed on its side for about forty minutes. Normally, you would see sky outside this window. Much of the perfume and a lot of jewellery was smashed in the shops. They had to rescue people swimming in the pool and the deck chairs literally flew around the outside lounge area. One lady at our lunchroom dining table was thrown accross the floor.
