Bermuda Cruise - Day 8
Sunday, May 13
Even though the ship wasn't scheduled to dock in Port Liberty until 7:30 a.m., and we weren't scheduled to disembark until 9:40., we were supposed to be out of our rooms by 7:00 so they could be prepped for the next cruise. We called shenanigans on that, so we didn't vacate until close to 8:00. We went to the main restaurant, and ( Read more... ) -
Bermuda Cruise - Day 7
Saturday, May 12
Game 13 vs. Jeff Clark (L 329-398)
Bingos: pENNIES / MILTINg
Nothing particularly noteworthy here. The board was tight, and I never caught up to his early bingo.
Game 14 vs. Jeff Clark (W 468-321)
Bingos: WOODIeST, REPAINT, ELaTION / GREENIE
An odd game where the first E wasn't played until turn 7! Everything seemed to go my way ( Read more... ) -
Bermuda Cruise - Day 6
Friday, May 11
I let Shelley sleep in until about 11:30 to help compensate for her near-sleepless experience the night before. By the time she was awake and dressed, the sun had disappeared, and it was pouring rain - we would've been caught in it if we had got going any earlier. So we decided to forgo our Bermuda plans for the day, which was just ( Read more... ) -
Bermuda Cruise - Day 5
Thursday, May 10
This is our only day 100% spent at Bermuda. I eventually rolled out of bed around 11:00, and Shelley was already long since up, having only managed a 4-hour napchunk. We went out into the nearby Dockyards area to explore.
We started off with lunch at the Bone Fish Restaurant right off the pier. Of course, we both got different ( Read more... ) -
Bermuda Cruise - Day 4
Wednesday, May 9
We docked at Kings Wharf, Bermuda around 8:30 a.m. It was the first time we'd seen land since leaving New Jersey. I didn't realize that Bermuda is located in the middle of nowhere - 1,000 km from the nearest land! From our stateroom, we have a good view of the Dockyard area. It's a former military installation, turned into a ( Read more... ) -
Bermuda Cruise - Day 3
Tuesday, May 8
After a 1-hour time change, the 9:00 a.m. start time for the tournament effectively became 8:00 a.m.!
Game 7 vs. Tony Leah (L 384-462)
Bingos: SOLACED / AVERSION, ADRENALS, ARGEnTAL
My one bingo was big (SOLACED 100), but not big enough to overcome 3 bingos by Tony. I had 161 after 3 turns, but then took until turn 11 to double that ( Read more... ) -
Bermuda Cruise - Day 2
Monday, May 7
Shauna and Dave managed to scare up an impressive group of 36 Scrabblers for the at-sea Scrabble tourney. I wouldn't be surprised if that's a record. Eat your heart out, Larry & Barbara! And including the 24 non-Scrabblers in our group, it's a grand total of 60 we've got here.
Shelley and I are both in the 8-player Division A. Since ( Read more... ) -
Bermuda Cruise - Day 1
Sunday, May 6
Having been up all night, Shelley was ready for breakfast well before me. She brought me up a chalky unripe banana. While I appreciated the thought, I decided to go down myself. I had some oatmeal and brown sugar in a plastic cup, because I was not observant enough to locate the bowls. We were down in the lobby well in time for the 10: ( Read more... ) -
Bermuda Cruise - Day 0
For the next week or so, I'll be making a daily post of my travelogue of the Bermuda cruise that Shelley and I returned from recently. Here goes!
Saturday, May 5
This was the first time either Shelley or I had flown Porter from the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, and it probably won't be the last. My parents were nice enough to give us a lift to ( Read more... ) -
Something to Chew On

Will NASPA cancel the OWL divisions if they don't get 40 entrants?
