Wednesday 12th Feb 2020

Bit wet this morning so catching up on all those little jobs, thankfully some blue sky around, still a very pleasant temperature.

It seems to be taking a little longer at each port to clear the official process.  We suspect this is because the authorities are being extra careful with checking that there is no risk of Coronavirus being brought in with the ship’s passengers and crew.  It seems that many cruise ships in the far east have been diverted or refused entry at various ports because of one ship where the virus is onboard and the perceived risk is having knock on effects.  We are especially glad to be on this ship in this part of the globe and not on Queen Mary 2 who has had their itinerary changed and will not be calling at Hong Kong or Singapore, to avoid bringing the virus onboard, and will circumnavigate Australia with extra ports instead.

Days seem to be lengthening as we get further south away from the equator, also makes for much better sunsets.
