Cooler again today, but still pleasant. Slight westerly breeze. After the men narrowly lost today's BoS (we can't win the series), I went back to my cabin to get my sunglasses, only to discover that it was raining, so no quoits. I lost the Individual Quiz, but the guy who won has played almost daily since Southampton and this was his first victory and first gold sticker. Formal night tonight. We lost both the Pub and Syndicate Quizzes. Guess what...

Day one of week fifteen, my final week. I can't believe I'm so close to the end of the cruise. Weather is getting cooler but it's still very pleasant to sit out in. After breakfast and a mile, I went through the wardrobes and pulled out clean stuff that won't be worn again and stuff that needed washing. The clean stuff is now in a suitcase (stored not packed) and the rest has been laundered and is ready for packing. Men trounced the ladies in BoS meaning...

Glorious day, woke up to sunny skies, light breeze and 23 degrees. After the usual sea day morning, we had our second world cruise luncheon. It was supposed to be at noon, but once again, the clocks went forward another hour to GMT -2, so it was at 13:00. Everyone is confused by the time changes as we have 7 more days to go, but we're now only 3 hours behind the UK. The lunch was good. Lots of wine! We had a Croatian 3rd Engineer on our table. Unpro...

Nice warm sunny start to the day. Went to Yvonne's cabin to get some photos of yesterday as she took a waterproof camera with her. Then I did the webpage and photo backups. I met Barbara Basquil's sister and brother-in-law in Anderson's at 11:00 and we chatted for about 45 minutes. Clocks went forward another hour at midday, making us GMT -3. So it was a quick lunch then BoS. The men lost again. Lost in the first round of quoits, but Barbara got thr...

Not Barbuda, Antigua! The blogging app strikes again! We arrived at 08:00 to cloudy skies and high twenties. Maasdam was moored next to us. Antigua was the first Caribbean island I ever visited, way back in the 80's. This is our penultimate port. We all went different ways, Rob golfed, Phil helicoptered, Barbara and Lin went to Nelson's Dockyard and Yvonne and I went swimming with stingrays. It was excellent. We drove out to the other side of the ...
