Day 4 - At Sea

Day 4 – Monday 13th January 2014 – At Sea

View of the stern from Deck 3 with two azipods driving in a force 8 gale.

Another good day’s start in the gym then into the Theatre to listen to today’s lecture, ‘Working and Living in Space’, given by Ellen Baker, an American Astronaut, who has spent 24 days in space on three separate shuttle missions.  The lecture was given with many amazing photographs taken from space and how they live and work on the space station, thoroughly enjoyed the talk and it is not every day you get to meet an Astronaut.

Dance class today was the tango which proved a little difficult but a lot of fun, as we skated around the floor to the rolling of the ship. 

Weatherspoon’s, for a fish and chips lunch with a couple of pints. I good get used to this.

In the afternoon, wandered around the forward end of the ship, taking pictures of the Commodore Room, Gym and Yacht Club, then the afternoon siesta.

Cocktail of the day in the evening at the Café Carinthia was a ‘Mai Tai’ which consisted of five different spirits, it was beautiful.

Dinner’s selection was prawns/sirloin steak/ice cream, all very nice.  After dinner wandered along to the theatre at the forward end to be entertained by Marie Keane, a pianist from Manchester and she certainly could rattle those ivories, a wonderful show.

Finished off in the Commodore Room, with cocktail night caps. 

The seas are building again and the decks are closed off and expecting another bouncy night.
