| In the Bay of Biscay 14/10/14 |
After the
storm of the day before, Monday was actually spent enjoying a period of blissful
calm far from landfall. Aboard the Saga Sapphire cruise ship, we are now in the
Bay of Biscay sailing sedately between two large areas of low pressure. Our
timing appears to have been perfect for a smooth crossing to England.
Fortunately,
the passenger casualties I had been expecting as a result of our ship’s pitching
and rolling on Sunday never appeared. Somehow the dear wrinklies on board, many
of whom I have become quite endeared to by now, had all survived intact, which proves
that you don’t become old if you are stupid.
Well soon
this particular Lap of the Western Med cruise will be over. Our bags are slowly
being packed and this evening we will be having our last night on board before
arrival and disembarkation in Southampton. I can imagine that the evening meal tonight
will be a rather muted affair compared to all the wonderful dinner
conversations previously had on board. I
am sure that tonight many of us will be sadly raising a parting glass to fellow
passengers who, in all likelihood, will never be seen again.
And as
partings go, this will be the last post I write on this blog for a while. To my
readers, I do hope that you have enjoyed reading my musings as much as I have enjoyed
writing them for you. On a final note, let me simply end by thanking all of you who actively encouraged me to
continue with this project for the duration of the cruise. Take care and live long!
