Norman and Sylvia HazzardThe folks were married on August 12, 1961, so this month they've been married for 50 years. We cruised to Bermuda together on an ocean liner and threw a big party.
None of the 2300 passengers on that enormous ship were more grateful than the two of us to be able to turn off the lights, tuck into bed, and sleep for 8 hours uninterrupted as the ship made 160 miles good for Bermuda through the night! A 500 mile day at sea; can you imagine??!!?? "Rough seas" made some feel ill as we crossed the Gulf Stream; Elise and I shared knowing smiles in public and giggles in private at the notion that we were experiencing rough seas. Let's summize there were no lee cloths, no wetted table cloths, no spilled dinner wine, and no crawling on the cabin sole necessary. We can now attest that 1000 foot long ships steaming at 22 kts shoulder 7 foot seas with aplomb.

Happy anniversary to two of our favorite people, Norm and Sylvia! Bet they loved that you could be along for the cruise. Such great memories. And the trip to upstate NY! How amazing. My family's from there too, and I have the best childhood memories of lake swimming and catching my first fish! Thanks for posting, and glad you guys made it through the earthquake and storm. Brace yourself for locusts. That's prob next.
