Everyday I am learning something new!

These handy maps located at all the elevators give you a quick reference of where the restrooms are when your away from your cabin. 

There are mirrors in the corners of all the hallways, to avoid walking into someone, as you round the corner.

An Irishman, Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort, invented the Wind Force Scale. So you can look at the sea waves and judging the height and amount of white caps to get an indication of land breeze. You then add or subtract that from speed ship is going, depending if going with or against wind direction. And this will give you wind gust on Ship's deck. Which have been in 40's for us, since we are traveling with land wind speeds at 20 to 25 mph and sailing at another 18 to 20 knots. Don't think we'll get any pickleball in today!
