We anchored in the middle of someplace during the middle of the night and started our transit of the canal around 7:00 AM this morning. The Suez Canal is 120 miles long, 79 feet deep and 673 feet wide. It is controlled by Egypt. More than 17,000 ships pass through the canal each year.
We actually took on a few folks ...electricians, stamp and card sellers, wallet and papyrus sellers, but some of us were with the choir when they came aboard and by the time word of shopping reached us, most nicer things were gone. Still, I managed to find something for my Turkey Creek Readers! Yay!
I am anxiously awaiting six o'clock to run to the laundry and beat any competition. Laundries onboard are becoming the places of the devil! People just become mean and nasty there and have no patience whatsoever. It's terrible.
If you go to princess.com and look for the princess webcams...find the sea princess live webcam, you can see where we are and what exciting things are transpiring.
Hey! I got two loads in the washer when Ann, or Mrs. Captain, asked if the washer was now working. Seems she has the same problem of clothes to wash as I do...so we are working it out. Hope to enjoy lobster in the dining room tonight...but only if I get clothes to wear done...same story for Jeff!
Cheers!
