For the past ten weeks we’ve been going back and forth between the Eastern and Central time zones. This means that twice a week we have to change our clocks one hour forward and one hour back. It’s nice to get an extra hour of sleep early in the week, but we usually lose the hour again on the final sea day.
However, this week we’re not traveling west to Central America, but to the Eastern and Southern Caribbean. That means that tonight as we leave the Eastern Time Zone, on our way to Puerto Rico, we’ll cross over to the Atlantic Time Zone and lose an hour of sleep first! I am only soothed by the reminder that we’ll get this hour back on our way from Aruba to Grand Cayman next week.
Also interesting to note, from our coordinates at midnight tonight, if you were to travel due east from here you’d be in the Sahara Desert in Africa!
