I know
that about 71 percent of the Earth's surface is
water-covered, but I never knew there were so many bodies of water. Yes, of course, I knew there were oceans,
seas, rivers, lakes, etc., but when our new cruise buddy, Karlene, started
keeping a record of the different bodies of water, I was amazed.
During our World Cruise, she compiled a list of the bodies of water we
sailed through:
Pacific Ocean

Unfortunately,
she disembarked in Fort Lauderdale, but she
asked me to keep track of the remaining segment from Florida
to Los Angeles,
and these are the bodies of water I could identify:
Strait
of Florida
Caribbean Sea
Panama Canal (Gatun
Lake)

Trench
Bahia de Banderas

Gulf
of Tehuantepec
