And We Float Home...

Egads, 10 days since my last post. Don't worry, I've been writing posts in Notepad, and will upload and back date accordingly.

Its been very busy this past cruise, I've seen a decent number of patients. I'm finally getting the advertising and marketing handled. There's still plenty to do, but I feel like I've at least rounded the corner of success. Its all fine tuning from here on out.

As to the title of this post... Well, let me provide some background about this cruise to put everything into context. Every 5 days the ship departs San Diego with Cabo San Lucas as our first destination. Departing around 5 pm, we hit the open seas and make out way down. We spend a day at sea as we make the 300 some-odd-miles to Cabo. After a lovely and warm day in Cabo we again leave at 5 pm and make our way back up north to our second destination, Ensenada, which is only about 100 miles south of San Diego. We have another day at sea between destination. The sea days are really all about having passengers spend money within the ship on important services such as acupuncture, etc.

The thing is, it doesn't take a whole day between ports. So what does the ship do with all that time? Well, at night they turn off the engines, save one and simply float home. They simply keep it pointed in the right direction and let the currents do the rest.

Before the current fuel price increases, they used to go in circles out on the pacific to kill time. Now they simply kill the engines, and goof off.
