PLAYING PINBALL IN THE ENGLISH CHANNEL

I forgot to take my camera with me today, so unfortunately there are no photos!

At day at sea! How relaxing! Not for me!
  The most relaxing part of the day was breakfast! Then it was off to the Tamarind Theatre for a talk on Acupuncture. Then I just stayed on as there looked an interesting talk on diamonds. I know know about Cut, Clarity, Carats and Colour. However, it was the Guest Speaker I was interested in seeing. We had Gary Coniff, who gave a fascinating talk on The Royal Yacht Britannia. Gary had worked on her back in the 1980s and I loved hearing about all the different aspects of the Yacht. I really must visit her sometime!
  In the evening we had the Captain's Welcome Party. Captain Willard seems such a lovely and amiable person. He had previously worked for Cunard at some point. The Captain says we were travelling at 9 knots, but by this afternoon we had only reached Dover! I think we had secretly dropped anchor somewhere for a while. However, it was lovely seeing all the different types of ships pass by, and playing my favourite game of recognising the ships.
  The show tonight was Hot Ticket - about the Hollywood Musicals. I have no idea how the dancers can keep upright on the ship while jumping around!
