It seemed today that we were out a sea (a very calm sea) but it was Queen Charlotte Sound. This morning we had breakfast up at the Cafe del Sol - the buffet style - very nice.

The boutique was having a sale on Swarovski jewellry, so I bought a necklace and matching earrings (which I wore to the formal dinner/cocktails with the Captain that night). Tom and I also bought some t-shirts & sweaters.

After lunch we took Sophie and Charlotte back to the children's centre (where they were this morning) - they love it. Shannon, Jess and I went and watched the movie of the day - "Message in a Bottle" (with Kevin Costner, Paul Newman) - dreadful movie, sad ending.

After the movie finished we madly got ourselves organised for cocktails with the Captain, and our first formal night. We dined on caviar and lobster. During dinner we had dolphins swimming in our wake and after dinner we saw whales swimming alongside!!!
