She told me that the cruise was one of the best things she ever did. She came back home happy and refreshed. She is ready to book another. It's great to see how cruising can transform somebody. That's why we cruise. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sea Dog Posted October 26, 2022 Author #706 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Now that I'm back and I can take some time to view my photos taken with my new iPhone camera with it's 48mp I thought I would show you a photo and a few crops and blowups to show you the detail. I am very impressed. All these pictures were cropped and enlarged from the same original wide shot. Wide Zoom and crop nearest bird. Another zoom and crop Look at the details in the leaves in the crop and resize. All the pics ranged in file size from 17mb to 24mb. The original files were in the 100's of mb. as DNG or Raw format. So is it a Nikon or Sony? No but for a pocket phone camera I am very happy with what I can do photography wise. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or lean back against the wall (if you're in the bathroom) and slide down it. Don't worry about raking pictures off the wall or knocking the towel rail off, they can be fixed later. --bruce T. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the nutritional data on Kraken. Calories: 105 per 1 oz. 1 carb per 1 oz. 1.9g sugar per 100 ml on the rum which is not that bad. Good news is that Kraken is good for those on Keto diet. It's low on carbs. The Sunsational colada mix is a lot more Calories from 2.7 oz 150 Calories from fate 3.5 g Sodium 95mg Carbs 28 g Sugars 27 g Thanks. starting to feel a little better. Thank you. Mainly resting at home taking it easy. Mowing the grass is going to have to wait. You could make a version for her using the Jordan's Skinny Mixes. That is what I do for Linda. https://www.skinnymixes.com/products/skinny-pina-colada-mix I finally tasted Kraken yesterday definitely a different tasting rum which I liked , had a little straight and then a kraken and coke, glad I bought the big bottle, I also bought some colada mix , will try a kraken colada soon . Thanks Greg and all the others that suggested it. Hopefully they have it on the Beyond in 4 weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We make a lot of the frozen drinks you get on the ship at home. Kraken is our staple. That and the island Oasis mixes or Sunsational Mixes that you can get from Amazon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare perfect match Posted October 28, 2022 #711 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Thanks to you and John and LaLa, I’ve found the perfect Christmas present for a family member. I know he’ll love it! 😎 Thanks for the gift idea! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he’ll love it! 😎 Thanks for the gift idea! That was my first T-shirt. Story behind it. My first cruise on adventure of the seas and we were eating breakfast. I saw a man with another Sea Dog tee and throu thought logo was the coolest thing I’d ever seen because of my love of dogs and pirates. The perfect combo. So I asked to take a picture of his shirt and asked where he got it. I found the company and purchased about every shirt they made. I wanted to change my screen name to Sea Dog but Cruise Critic said there was already a screen name by that name. I looked up the name and noticed that the only difference was that the other member had not capitalized the “s” and “d” and that they had not posted for over 8 years. I contacted CC and pleaded my case for the name change and it was granted. The person who runs the Sea Dog company knows me as one of his best single customers. I’m trying to work on a new logo and design for me so that I don’t fudge the copyright lines but needless to say I’m a walking promo for his company.

My wife said I needed to buy it. On the front is the normal (small) Sea Dog logo. On the back is a pirate dog skeleton riding a Motor Cycle (HD). My nick name is Dog, I ride a motor cycle (HD of course) and my wife insists I'm skinny (not IMO) like the Dog skeleton riding the motor cycle. Plus they are good quality T-shirts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we were in Galveston. There was a shop downtown that stacks of Sea Dog shirts. Linda asked me if I was going to buy one. I said no I have all those designs. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted October 28, 2022 #715 Share Posted October 28, 2022 @Sea Dog you might also want to check out Laid-Back at https://laidbackusa.com They cover a few spectrums, from beach, to gear heads,… they focus on a life of being “Laid-Back since way back”. A couple of their shirts you might like. I might have some of their gear.😉 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
