Our first full
day at sea saw the wind pick up to near gale and many passengers reaching for
their travel sickness medication and heading for their cabins. We managed to fit in our first visit to the
gym, just before a busy schedule of briefings and sessions on Seabirds,
Photography and the history of the islands.
Not much time for standing on deck to watch the Petrels and
Albatrosses following the vessel.
After a substantial breakfast I’d planned to stick to
something light at lunch until I was offered a traditional Roast dinner with
all the trimmings -I'd forgotten it was Sunday – will power lost out!
The food & drink service starts with coffee and pastries in the lounge at
06.30 followed by breakfast at 08.00. Lunch is usually at 12.30 with afternoon
tea at 16.00 and dinner at 19.30. The bar has a good selection of beers, wines
champagne and at least 6 malt whiskies and is open from 10.00 am until the last
person leaves. Little chance we are going to go short.
Thankfully there is also
a gym available all day and yoga classes on sea days. I’m probably going to add
a few kilos over the course of the voyage.
