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.
