Random things

First, some things that are difficult to do while on a boat:
a) Yoga
b) Running on a treadmill
c) Being 6''1" - I hit my head on everything.

Next, I forgot to write about this yesterday. While walking back to the pick-up point to go back to the ship, I was walking past this row of 300' mega yachts. One of them had a whole group of people on the aft deck eating and drinking and blasting Ace of Base!! I just about died laughing.

Finally, the food fiasco is now my fault because I didn't call the agent who was supposed to deliver it to us in Nice. Ummmm, I wasn't fully briefed on how this whole operation works - I was told the food would get here on Thursday or Friday and if it didn't, tell one of the officers from the Odyssey to call the agent. I did that. One box came, the frozen food box was never delivered. I again told an officer and was instructed to call the supplier myself as they figured that the agent would never not deliver something they had sitting in their warehouse. So now the guy from the supplier tells me it did, in fact, ship on Tuesday. If that is the case, then my frozen food is now not so frozen and stinking up the agent's warehouse. Serves them right.

I just got an email from the supplier in response to my asking for the tracking number:

Dear Nic,

We think it's 0406751 - the bottom copy is a bit faded.

We THINK it's 0406751?!? FML.
