We are still at sea.

Last night was choppy and I got little sleep because of the noise made by wobbling windows.

The blow has subsided and we are now in the Pirates work zone.

I breakfasted alone, having gone to bed early I assumed it was 'eightish' again.

The sore throat has started to mature into a runny nose making me very happy.

This morning was the elimination round for tonight's talent competition.

Vonny and Jandy did their excellent Jabberwocky acting out but were rejected as being 'not international enough'.

I have just been told that I have to dress up again for the captain's cocktail party - ugh!

It is in an hour and I am still hung over from lunch time G&Ts, that is the girls' fault for buying me the 4th one. Actually they are free with our package - not a good idea when there are no TV subtitles or inexpensive internet to distract.

The cocktail party offerred a choice of proseco or fruit punch, so not strictly speaking a cocktail !

The captain was too busy to attend - we assumed pirates had been sighted.

So Dave pointed out, no captain and no cocktail, but to be very fair, the crew were really pushing the fizz.

Finally Vonny and John performed a beautiful Zulu song, unaccompanied, in the talent competition - all entrants were declared winners !

Tomorrow is our Murder Mystery and the clocks go forward again.
