Got up late for some reason. Weather was quite cool when I did a mile with Rob, but it's supposed to warm up a lot for tomorrow. Still too cool to sit outside, but I am back in shorts and flip flops. Men won BoS quite decisively today. Jo, who joined in San Francisco to replace Scott, has certainly raised the fun level. I managed to lose deck quoits in the first round, again. It was warm enough to sit out after a cuppa. I managed to do my laundry. S...

Cool start to the day, but it warmed up by mid afternoon. A frustrating day. I worked on my web page and as I was copying files I copied one I shouldn't, so I spent all the morning and part of the afternoon sorting stuff out. Sigh. That means that all the ports I'd written up over the sector had to be rewritten and the 99 photos also had to be re-entered. I did take a break for lunch (dressed crab salad, yum) and BoS (women just shaded it). The Captain...

Late start today. Rob, Linda, Barbara and I met in Raffles at 9:30 for a shopping morning. We hit all the stores we wanted, Levi's, Bloomingdales, Footlocker et al. We were shopped out by 13:30 and went to Macy's basement for lunch. After that it was back to the ship to unpack and have a beer. Around 17:00 the four of us got off, went to the chemists and then hit Pier 39 for a quick meal. We were all back on board by 19:00, with an all on board time of 2...

Early arrival under the Golden Gate Bridge. Ruby Princess was docked nearby, spookily, she was the ship I thought about doing a round Britain cruise on last September. Rob, Lin, Barbara and I left the ship about 9:00 and wandered along Fisherman's Wharf to see if we could get a tour to Monterrey. We couldn't, but a woman appeared by the queue and asked if anyone wanted to go to Muir Woods and Sausalito, which we did. She queue jumped us and a couple of minu...

15 at 8:30, the mile after breakfast was a chilly, windy affair. Sat with Barbara in Anderson's until lunch. Today we went forward another hour to GMT -7, but as the clocks went forward in UK today we're 8 hours behind. It was the final BoS of the sector today. The men won today but lost overall. Quoits was another very windy affair, which I lost. I won today's Individual Quiz. Scott didn't have a sticker as he'd run out (and is leaving the ship in SF),...
