Day 100 – Easter Sunday 20th
April 2014 – At Sea
 |
| Happy Easter |
This morning every
stateroom received two small Easter eggs
and a greeting card. While at the bottom
of the main staircase; this magnificent display, showing the creativity of the
catering department.
Some of the
decks are closed off as the wind is blowing hard, as we have passed through the
Straits of Hormuz and into the Gulf of Oman.
This
morning’s lecture was given by Denis Steele on ‘Three Centuries of Royal
Yachts’. Looking at the development and
use of the Royal Yachts, from the sailing vessels of the 17th
century, through to the steam turbine yacht, Britannia. I thoroughly enjoyed the lecture and I still
cannot understand, why Britannia was taken out of service, or a replacement
built.
Dance lesson,
and it is back to the slow waltz, which is always great fun, and the Japanese
are here in force.
The choir
has once more been formed but this time in the previous format, when I first
joined. Again, not being classed as a
choir, but loosely called, Singers At Sea.
Leah Hemsley is back again as our conductor, and Robin Rose as the
pianist, and it seems just like old times, singing the same songs. The first session today went very well,
considering the numbers who have now joined.
At night in
the theatre, the entertainment was by Philip Browne, who has starred in many
of the West End shows, and he was excellent, certainly the best show man we
have seen in the theatre, and the lasting ovation at the end, says it all.
Good to be
back at sea and recharge the batteries.
