Day 89 – Wednesday 9th
April 2014 – At Sea
A calm sea,
clear skies with a very warm breeze. We
are still in the main shipping lanes, and ships can be seen of all shapes and
sizes, though we are seeing more container ships, of which, some are passing
us, as we move along doing 20 knots.
On Deck 11,
at the front of the ship, I spent some time playing bowls, which I have not
done for a while, and thoroughly enjoyed the game.
The rest of
the afternoon on Deck 9, lying next to the pool on a lounger and I actually
finished reading my second book on the ship, which is something of a record for
me.
There were a
few problems in the Café Carinthia in the evening, as we had our pre-dinner
drinks. The gun which they use for the
mixers was playing up, press tonic you got soda, press soda you got lemonade and
other combinations. It was a delight
watching them toing and froing, as they eventually sorted it out. A little bit of light entertainment.
When we
eventually got to the Golden Lion after dinner to our surprise, the same thing was
happening with their mixer gun. Tonight
though is special, as Colin has been threatening to sing at the karaoke and
tonight is the night. There was a lot in
the pub, as the theatre show was not up too much.
Colin
duly got up and sang one of my favourite songs, and they all enjoyed his
rendition of one of Willie Nelson’s classics.
A very
pleasant day; looking forward to another port tomorrow.
