Sunday on our way to Halifax

Today was another sea day. We are on our way to Halifax, N.S., Canada. The Captain says that we are close to the area where the Titanic went down. Oh Boy, that is good news. The weather is cloudy, foggy and chilly, but not as chilly as it has been for the past few days.
Since all we have seen are clouds and water, there is not much to tell. However not ever being at a loss for words, here is some trivia.
Most bodies of water have names that are obvious. The majority of them are named for who discovered them, physical characteristics or the name of a place close by. There are a few that are not as easy to figure out.
Atlantic Ocean; It gets its name from either the lost kingdom of Atlantis or, more probably, from the Atlas Mountains in Northwest Africa, which the ancients believed overlooked the entire ocean.
Mediterranean; Deriving from the Latin medius, middle, and terra, earth, Mediterranean means “the sea In the middle of the earth”, which the ancients believed it to be.
Pacific Ocean; The Pacific was named by the Portuguese Navigator, Fernando de Magalhaes, better known as Magellan, on his voyage to the New World In 1520. During his time in the Atlantic he had to deal with extremes of weather, not to mention hunger and mutiny. Upon entering the new ocean he found this great body of water to be placid for many days, so he named it El Pacifico, the peaceful one. Unknown to him the Pacific Ocean covers 1/3 of the earth and is capable of terrible storms and waves unequaled in any other body of water.
There was your lesson for the day. We dock in Halifax at 8:00 AM tomorrow. They say it is going to be a sunny day. I hope we have not forgotten what the sun looks like.
