Two Sea Days after Athens

Wednesday April 29 2009 - Sometime during the night, we rounded the lowermost point of the Greek mainland and this morning we‘re sailing North West in the Ionan Sea. It’s warmed up a bit at 15 degC (59 degF) with choppy seas and sunny skies with no rain in the forecast. The hazmat team arrived at 08.40am and I put them off for an hour as we weren’t long up, they should be knocking on the door any minute now. I went to a lecture by stage and screen megastar, Sandy Duncan, later in the morning then I spent a couple of hours in the afternoon playing 3 card poker, net loss $3. At 02.00pm Izzy was cleared by the medical centre and she’s feeling better, but she decided just to spend the day in the cabin anyway.


Thursday April 30 2009 - 264 miles to Venice as we sail North West, now we’re in the Adriatic, with calm seas and temperatures the same as yesterday. The sky is clear and the usual people are still walking their morning circuits on deck 10, though there’s more and more people in long pants and jackets, fewer in shorts.
