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),...

The weather is getting cooler, it's down to 17 today, so long legs are the order of the day. After breakfast Rob and I went to the talk on Alan Turing in the theatre. I'm not sure why it was so early, but it was well attended. I then joined Barbara in Anderson's until lunch, which we ate in Medina today. I left the table early and managed to find a washing machine free, so grabbed it. I had to wait for a dryer, though. If this trip is anything like th...
