Our clocks were set back another hour last night. Sleeping past 6 AM is getting difficult. It is sunny and warm today with temperatures in the low 70's. One of the few sunny days we have seen on this trip.
There are several of the Cunard Insights speakers that I want to hear today.
Mike Dawson talks about his life long adventures rowing across the Atlantic ocean multiple times, and his attempt to row across the Pacific single handed and failing, and having to be rescued after his boat capsized and sunk.
He attempted the journey again with Chris Martin, and this time succeded in the 6 month challenge. Until this day, no one else has matched his feat.
Baroness Floetta Benjamin has been an advocate for childen her entire life. Immigrating from the Carribean at the age of 10, she was a children's TV program host for many years, author, and now politician in the UK she is a well known and respected and has received some of the highest civilian recognitons.
Professor Bridget Buxton series is about underwater archeology. She has led the research that resulted in her discovering dozens of ship wrecks around the world, the byproduct of developing the mythology to accurately predict where old ship wrecks are likely to be found.
Too much brain food for one day, I skip Lt. Col. Graham Jones presentation. Now retired, he was the director for all the military bands that played for ceremonies for the UK.
It is sunny most of the day. The captain is predicting gale force winds for Tuesday with 18 to 25 foot seas. Today the seas are slight, about 6 feet.
Scilian chicken for dinner was one of better meals. Tender. Juicy, and flavorful.
Tonights show is singer Peter Howarth, lead singer for "The Hollies", and West End star of The Roy Orbinson Story. An excellent performance.
An hour of Jazz after the show. We again turn our clocks back an hour. Sadly only a few days remaining on this journey.
