Bill, Fidel, Charles

The captain said that he increased speed so that we would get to New York before hurricane Bill would get to the ship. Yesterday it was quite cool and windy but we sat on deck where they served hot soup in a cup to the few of us out there. We have read a total of 6 books, gone to several concerts and seen two plays on board. Meanwhile we have had a number of stewards (named in the title) none of whom is as generous as Bert.
