at sea - May 8

Today is the first of what was scheduled to be 4 days at sea.  Apparently there has been a mechanical problem with the ship that can't be solved until we reach land and get a necessary part.  Because of this problem we aren't moving as fast as we were supposed to be moving so we will be arriving in our next port (Jordan) 9 hours later than originally planned.  This isn't a huge problem for us as our scheduled trip to Petra will be moved to the next day when we didn't have anything scheduled.  So we are essentially having 5 sea days.
