Catching up with the Sun

Yesterday, the sun set at 18:10 pm and rose this morning at 5:40 am. Back in sync with the sun, at least for us early risers. Eve is not so sure this is a good thing. 

We set our clocks back 1 hour on each of the five preceding nights. We traversed only 32 degrees of longitude over these 5 days, thus shifting our experienced sunrise and sunset dramatically. Our current clock setting is GMT-10:00, which is the time zone for Tahiti. 

Flying long distances generally means jolting our circadian rhythm suddenly into a new far off time zone.  A leisurely sea cruise lets our bodies adapt over multiple days. 

Highly civilized, in my humble opinion.
