Update From Sea

Hello, this is Sarah! Here is another update from Sea! Thank you to everyone who has been emailing us at sea, we love getting updates! My email is swibenorris@semesteratsea.net and Nate’s email is nnorris@semesteratsea.net if anyone wants to contact us it is the quickest way! Also, a very special thank you to Bill and Heather who have sent us travel tips, pages from their scrapbook and wonderful notes in EVERY port! We love Bill and Heather and super appreciate all of the letters!

We have loved being at sea. We definitely have our sea legs now! I have spent most of my time working or in port… but when I do have free time I enjoy popcorn on Deck 7 Aft (by the pool), goldfish and friends at the Faculty and Staff Lounge, meetings with students, making birthday signs, napping, watching old episodes of Grey’s Anatomy, reading, and of course hanging out with the other passengers. During this stretch at sea we have enjoyed calm waters, warm air, frequent lightning storms and the occasional dolphin.

Here are some other fun things we have done at Sea Recently!

We had a fun few days planning and orchestrating the Sea Olympics. My students were the Baltic Sea Ninjas. The Baltic Sea won medals for the Twister and Soduko competitions, and placed in a few others including Tug of War, Workout Relay, and Flip Cup. Nate and I ran the Olympic Relay Race near the pool, it was pure chaos!

We made it to the half way point of our voyage and had a Mohawk party to celebrate. I cannot believe we are half way through our fabulous journey! At this point we are savoring every moment and trying to enjoy every second! I am considering rocking the Mohawk on a regular basis- let me know what you think! Here is a photo of my really really awesome Hawk!
