Posted onSecond sea day. A bit overcast, not windy (yet), and the seas seem a little calmer to me this morning; Mike disagrees.

First Sea Day — Disney Magic 14-night Trans-Atlantic Cruise – Day 3
Posted onBusy day for our first full day at sea! With all the (delicious) calories we had to get some exercise. So, first thing we headed to deck 4 where 1 lap is about 1/3 of a mile.
