Day 2 - At Sea

Monday 15th May 2017
 
Weather continues grey and overcast, rather windy and a moderate sea giving some slight movement to the ship.

View out of our stateroom door
 
As no chance of sitting out went to the Arena Theatre to listen to the lecture.  Today's by David Russel on Naval Aviation.  Surprisingly interesting all about the navy's attempts at adding aircraft to ships from the earliest days in the 1700’s with idea of hot air balloons, bad idea! through first proper aircraft flown from a ship in 1910, not initially developed further.  Right through two world wars to the brink of the jet age.

Not much going on today so just relaxed and entertained ourselves. 

This evening listened to the pianist in the Red Bar before going to the theatre for a performance by Ben Makisi, a Polynesian Tenor from New Zealand who we have seen on numerous times.

Dinner tonight again in the Waterside buffet but tonight's theme was "Mediterranean", doing quite well for improvements to the menu on this cruise.
