A change in plans

FYI - A bit of a bummer - after a very nice day at sea today, the captain just announced ship-wide that there has been change for tomorrow. Unfortunately there are storm and gale force winds that are building around the coast of Sicily. One of the requirements for us to port in Sicily (or really any port) is that there must be a port Pilot onboard on board our ship to take us in. That requires them to sail from that port out to our ship in order to get him (or her) onboard. This evening after several attempts to get him here, they gave up for safety reasons. That in and of itself aborted our port there. Right now even as I type this the ship is as settled as it has been the entire trip, so apparently we have not encountered that weather system yet. The captain said that he will be taking us south of Sicily, and whatever activities for the day tomorrow will be announced and distributed later tonight. So, I do not know whether we there is some other port that is accessible at this point, or we will just have another day at sea. The captain said that he will try to keep the ship sailing as smooth as possible as we go past this system. So...could be interesting. It's okay, we watch a great show tonight in the auditorium, The Eastcoast Boys who sang the songs of Frankie Valie and the Four Seasons. They were good enough that we went back for the second seating to hear their routine again. They were one of the best acts we have seen on the ship. Enough for now...I wanted to get this out tonight before getting into rough waters and possible not having internet connection.
