Not a very good night's sleep. I think I was stressed thinking about Lulu's flat purchase maybe falling through. Anyway, woke up with the alarm at 730 and we were already on the dock at Pier 35, San Francisco. An absolutely brilliantly blue sky and warm sun. Maybe about 21C, so perfect sightseeing weather. We had breakfast and then set off to walk to Fisherman's Wharf, not very far, perhaps 15 minutes. We wanted to locate Hertz for tomorrow and also to ...

Our last sea day before San Francisco and it was a bright if rather chilly one. Maybe 15C but bright sunny skies. I did see some people sunbathing by the pool but they were braver and obviously more desperate than me! We got up late to the news that Lucy's flat purchase is looking a bit dicey after drifting on now for about 5 months. Very much fingers crossed that it doesn't collapse at this point but it's not looking particularly good. Gutting really....

Another day at sea heading north east towards San Francisco. Temperature down again to 17C today but very still. Sunny enough to sit out in a t shirt and read which we did for a bit. Actually we were terribly late up! Didn't actually wake up till 0930. Just amazing…… Bob went off to a lecture on the life of Turing and I went up to the Crow's Nest to read. Sat there till 12 when we had lunch. My reading was interrupted by an Australian woman who came...

Another lazy day. Much less wind today and plenty of sun but the temperature is dropping again as we head north east towards San Francisco in a few days' time. About 22C today. It will probably drop to about 17C by the time we get there. I lay on deck and read this morning. Bob went off to a lecture on the SAS from an ex captain. He said it was very interesting and not at all gung-ho. We have discovered that the ship is not sailing from San Francisc...

A very lazy day indeed! The wind was back - at least a Force 7 although it was very sunny and warm. We got up late and then found a place on deck. The pools were empty again….. a great shame. I wore one of my new Walmart cozzies LOL. Very pleased with it. I stayed on the sun deck for the morning. Bob went off about 11 for a lecture on Churchill and the coders at Bletchley Park. He said it was very interesting and informative. Apparently at one point ...
