At Sea
(Bay of Biscay and into the English Channel)
|
|
|
|
| |
The second and final
full day at sea, as we made further progress on our 791
nautical mile voyage from Figueira Da Foz to Portsmouth. |
|
|
| |
For us, it was another
quiet day and we were very thankful that the notorious Bay
of Biscay was completely flat! |

In the evening, the
Captain's Farewell cocktail party took place in the main
lounge, followed by dinner in the main restaurant. We decided
that we weren't going to risk either event, knowing by now
that several passengers were showing symptoms of Covid-19.
We found out that it was possible to have our drinks and
dinner in the bar instead. Another couple, Susan and Simon,
made the same decision as us and so we joined them (at a
distance) in the otherwise empty bar and had a thoroughly
enjoyable evening. |

We met
Susan and Simon on our previous cruise (Andalucian Odyssey). It
was good to see them again on this one! |
|

Kevin, Wendy and Neil
had been working very hard since the announcement that the
cruise was to be curtailed, especially in trying to rearrange
everybody's onward travel plans once we got to Portsmouth.
Fortunately our plans were easy to rearrange and we didn't
need to bother them, but they kept smiling throughout...
a professional response in a crisis and all taken in their
stride! |

After the dinner, Neil arranged a deck party and
took on the role of DJ!
