Wednesday 15th - At Sea

Another glorious day. Hard to believe it is the North Atlantic and not the South Pacific. Played cards, went in spa, read and sun baked. The library is very short on English books so many people have set up their own swapping system. Adrian was reading the Atlas one day. We met a lovely lady who shares her time between Albany in WA and Hervey Bay in QLD. She told us about a fort in Albany. More places for us to visit!! I have not been using sunscreen but do not get burnt. The sun just does not seem to have the same intensity. The Europeans on board sun bake in any weather even if we think it a bit cool. People are much less inhibited about their body shapes and all shapes, sizes and ages wear bikinis.
I (Fay) have won cards two days in a row!!! I have to record this as I don’t beat Adrian often (is everything a competition - of course). Adrian lost (????) the score sheets. Therefore there is no proof! One of the ladies we play with is battling seasickness so the cards are a distraction for her.
Today is when it was decided to divert to Boston because of the hurricane. We have never been to Boston and look forward to a couple of days there and a tea party
I spoke to a couple in the spa and they were looking forward to scuba diving in Bermuda but it was not meant to be.
We watched a movie outdoors on the big screen at last. It was fun but a little cool. We will take a jacket tonight.
TV is abysmal with limited English stations. They need to put a little more thought in if they want to attract English speaking tourists.
We are glad to heading in the direction of home! We miss you all and can’t wait to see you all. Kath, we have seen so many wedding dresses at great prices. Perhaps a trip to check them out would be in order??????
