Eastern Caribbean - Day 2

Sunday - I was curious where we were this morning. I turned on the TV, which has a map showing our location, speed, temperature, etc., and was mildly surprised at how close we were to Cuba. The weather app even showed our location as Cuba. 

There wasn’t much to see from the starboard railing besides seeing that there is something on the horizon. 

Today is a sea day as we wander south towards our first stop at Aruba. Someplace I had only heard of in the Beach Boys song, Kokomo. Not being a big music person, I had to look the title up on Google. But I do remember the song from the late 80s. 

My son rented a casita for the day on deck 16. The shade is nice benefit. It is kind of windy up here. I had stopped in the solarium at the front of the ship and that was quiet. No DJs, no games, or live performances. 

I guess I'm fascinated that Google maps work with the wifi. The onboard Interneg was included with The Key package. I'm not sure I would've purchased it but it's nice to have. 

Those look like Starlink dishes mounted to the rail. I heard that it has been a game-changer for on-sea Internet. The speed is decent especially considering our location.
