Pitch and Roll

It's the first Cafe that I have ever been to that has an escalator to get in and out of, it's called Wayne's Coffee and I believe that it is a franchise. There is free WiFI and a hair salon that I seen the symbol for all over. I decided to get my hairs cut today, even though I fit the part of the "California scruffy surfer" before this new boat that we are on is a little nicer in that there are many more city people traveling on board. I believe that I left you off when I had one more day aboard the Amorella...yes I did (I just checked). Well just in case you wanted to know I did have a great last night. There were two birthdays, we were leaving and the Bulgarian band was leaving Saturday so there were many reasons to have a party, and party we did till the wee hours of the morning and then I packed in 5 minutes right before I left the ship. I was a mad dash and I forgot to leave the microphones with the sound tech so I had to "mail" them back to the ship at the ticket counter, haha what a morning that was. Because I was so tired I slept the entire way to Helsinki which now that I think of it is a real bummer because I missed a lot of countryside. Once we got to Helsinki we took a short tram ride down to the docks and got on board the Gabriella and again I fell asleep until about 8pm and upon being woken up I was informed that we were expected to sing a song in the "jam packed" fun club with one of the bands. What an experience that was, we decided to sing "Proud Mary" by CCR it went well but it was very overwhelming my palms were sweating and all that.
It is tough playing on a boat in the open sea, unlike the Amorella that was along the coast and in between the islands the Gabriella crosses a long stretch of open sea for about 8 hours of the trip. When in open water the boat pitches and rolls which sends most people to their cabins to lay down to prevent getting sea sick but we are still on the stage. It's difficult to sing into a mic and play guitar while all of this is happening but we manage even while I sit here I feel the ocean and the movement of the boat. I am gonna have to cut this short as my arm is starting to really bother me. The swelling has gone down thanks to an anti-inflammatory and I am learning how to adjust my playing so that I don't keep injuring it but typing is tough. I'll try it in spurts and paste it from word for tomorrow, lots of things to catch you up on.
much love and thanks for reading.
