Didn't sleep too well last night for some reason, so up a bit late. After breakfast Rob, Barbara and I did a mile. Looked into the laundry but it was busy so went and sat in the shade on the Promenade Deck with Barbara. I managed to do it later in the day. I went to the BoS but I can't tell you who's winning as I've lost all interest. The bonus round was close ups of various objects and the guy who was marking it was allowing all sorts of slightly wrong ...

Once again a gloriously calm, warm day. The temperature is high 20's. The sea is calm and a wonderful blue with an occasional whitecap. No breeze. I haven't seen any sea life since the Straits of Magellan. Some people have seen seals, whales and flying fish, but not me. Men still marginally ahead in BoS. It was extremely hot playing quoits, and I reverted to form by losing in the first round. Captain's cocktail party for the full world cruisers toni...

24 degrees at 8:30, warm sunny day. Sat on Promenade Deck with B. until 11:15, then went to a talk on the Princes in the Tower. Still don't know whodunnit! Around 12:00 the captain came on with some bad news. A passenger had been ill and was going to be evacuated to Easter Island and thence to Santiago. This meant that the circumnavigation of the island wouldn't now happen. It turns out that there are about 6 Moai (heads) by the main town and we were able...

25 degrees at 8:15 when I got up. Breakfast, mile, then laid out by the Terrace Pool. Very warm with a slight breeze. After lunch (baked potato and salad), it was time for BoS. Every day on this leg is slightly different and today the points per question ranged from 100 to 400 (don't ask). The men managed to shoot into the lead, but the way this one is going it could all change tomorrow. I saw the captain eating his lunch in the buffet restaurant and his ...

Got up to a warm but overcast 24 degrees. After breakfast and a mile, I laid on the very back of deck 8. It was extremely windy. Apparently, on decks 10 & 11, it was really warm. Men losing by even more in BoS. After that, I went back to my cabin, only to discover that it was chucking it down outside. It dried up enough for me to lose at deck quoits. Then after a cuppa, I sat on the back of my deck and read a bit and did a crossword. It was cooler a...
