Quote of the day: “I got personally trained yesterday. I ache all over today. The trainer was only 23, and the plan she gave me said I had to give up alcohol. Like that’s going to happen.”
Last night The Beatles tribute band, still trapped on board the Dawn Princess, moved out of the theatre, and on to the Riviera Deck, so people could dance. They tell us that this was their 7th performance on board, and they seem to be enjoying the large audiences they’ve been getting. Certainly a lot more than they would have got at the wedding they were booked for last Saturday… I wonder what sort of band they were replaced with?
And so they rocked on through the evening. And the crowd rocked too, midst the delicate aroma of fresh varnish, and being slowly dampened by the moist Atlantic fog, which had engulfed the ship yet again… I suspect though that quite a few of us are now all Beatled out. Still, just two more sea days, and with any luck, the lads from Liverpool will be able to disembark, and catch a flight back home.
A big score for me today: I was keen to do one of the Newport By Segway tours, but they’ve all been booked out for weeks. When I finally got around to asking if it was worth putting my name down on the wait list, the tour office told me they had just had a ticket handed back in, and promptly gave it to me… yes!
Oh, and if you’ve noticed my blogs are getting posted later and later, it’s because for the last 4 nights, we’ve been putting the clock back one hour per night… which gives everyone a lie-in and a 25 hour day…

Hi Phil
ReplyDeleteEnjoying the blog. Had a few days in the Bay. Had a few wines with you :). Parade cafe is has closed but will be reopening on your return in the tugboat.
Emma has squatted into OT while her house is being renovated. Busy being farmers for a while now :(. Watch out for those wealthy American widows as you get closer to US .. they will be getting desperate by now.
Happy cruising
