Whadya mean no football?

ms Amsterdam

The lead story in today's shipboard newsletter/activity summary is by the
communications officer and attempts to explain why there will be no football on our TV
system today. Satellite position, blah, blah, between continents, blah, blah, satellite dish
location on ship, blah, blah, legal restrictions, blah, blah and blah. And then the chilling
last line, "Satellite reception is expected to return on or around February 3, 2013." (Love
that he included the year.) Yes, Super Bowl Sunday when they turn the main showroom
into a big tailgate party. Probably half the people on board couldn't care less about the
Super Bowl, but they do care very much about free cocktails!

Easter Island tomorrow, weather permitting. It's noon now and the seas and winds are
increasing slightly. 370 nautical miles to go by morning.
