Sea Legs

   My time away was great. Great food, amazing sights, cool new adventures and most of all, uninterrupted time with my wife. No phone calls, no work crises, no drama. Perfect. Sure there were bumps on the road, mostly to do with the flights (so bumps in the sky??), but it was all part of the adventure.

   One thing that was a bit of an eye opener was the waves, I never accounted for the waves being a land lubber and all. My plan was to find a quiet little corner to practice my Kung Fu. So I found a little nook where I could "work" (infinity pool area at the rear of the ship) but very quickly realized I hadn't taken into account that the term "sea legs" is a very real thing. I swayed, I stumbled, I bounced off things, I must have been very entertaining to watch. I quickly realized that my planned ten days of peaceful forms practice was not going to happen. Even slowing it down to sloth speed still could not prevent being unstable, I just couldn't predict when a wave would push or pull just enough to throw me off. It was fun stuff, I almost felt blindfolded and disconnected from my body, good stuff.

   It did teach me to keep better contact with the ground at all times, sort of a constant slide/side step thing, but that only helped a little, it would take a much longer cruise (😏) to figure that out.  

   Now to get back at it. I am excited for what tomorrow brings, I have Kung Fu to learn and I am open minded and ready to receive, see you on the mats....
