August 4 - Lifeboat drill

August 4 – Stockholm (Lifeboat drill)
Lifeboat drill gives everyone a chance to practice dressing in stylish orange, and for some of us (like me), a time to practice chest-bumping skills. I got a good laugh from two of the stewardesses and the trombone player. Sorry to say, many just don't take this drill seriously. Many came to the drill unprepared – either no life vest or just carrying it. Others just gabbed away and took their time, blocking the doorway to get to and from the lifeboat station. Just hope we never have a real emergency. As we were dismissed, it started raining, so some people got wet. We barely avoided it. The captain came on the intercom and confirmed it was indeed raining and we could expect choppy seas (5-6 feet), and 50 mph winds this evening. Fun, fun, fun...
