Aug 18 - Sea Day

The seas have calmed a little overnight. The ship is still creaking and groaning, but the roll is less.

The skies are partly cloudy at daybreak, but by noon time we are in solid but not heavy fog. Visibility is about 100 yards.

The fog comes and goes throughout the remainder of the day.

The usual daytime offerings. Trivia, dance classes, classical piano concerts, guest choir rehersal, 3 or 4 enrichment speakers if you care to enrich your brain, and other activites.

Cunard has helped with my bar bill. Still no Bamboo Saphire or Beefeater gin in the Lion pub or Chartroom. I will probably stick to club soda for the remainder of the cruise.

Pork tenderloin wrapped in bacon is much better than the beef tenderloin was yesterday.  

The entertainment tonight is a british comedian. I listen for a few minutes and move on. 

It is "Big Band" night in the Queens Room. There are some good dancers, but not as many or as good as two weeks ago. One of the two vocalists is new, she is from Holland, and again not as good as the previous singer.

We remain on the same course and have averaged over 22 knots since leaving Southampton. The skies are cloudy with some fog, and the seas are about 10 feet.

We set our clocks back another hour tonight.
