Sea Olympics!

Last post until after India:

                This post will about the Sea Olympics. They take place in two days, October 21^st. The Sea Olympics is a long tradition on SAS. Each deck is separated into seas. On deck 3, where I am, there are a total of 4 seas, The Baltic Sea, The Mediterranean Sea, the Caribbean Sea and my sea, the Yellow Sea. There are others (the Aegean Sea, the Bering Sea, the Red Sea, and the sea for the Lifelong Learners/Faculty/Staff, the Nomer Sea) around the ship. Now, the Olympics is a competition between all the sea to win bragging rights and to be the first off the ship when we disembark permanently in San Diego. A new prize was introduced this year and that is a party in the faculty lounge, with a bar. Whichever sea wins, wins it all. There are no second place prizes. I am also one of the three captains for the Yellow Sea.

These are all games. I will post up on Oct 21^st to say how we did, and whether or not we are first off or not.

Games that we do are:

1. Hula Hoop

2. Lip Synching

3. SAS Jeopardy

4. Tug of War

5. Synchronized Swimming (which I am participating)

6. Ping Pong

7. Junk Boat Building (which I am participating)

8. Dodgeball

9. Horse

10. Rock, Paper, Scissors

15. Ice Pick Race [pick ice cubes with chopsticks and put them in a cup]

16. Limbo

17. Orange Pass Relay [pass an orange neck to neck]
