Daily Reports QV Western Med 2018 Sea Days

8th November – Cadiz Bound

09/11/201809/08/2021

I’m getting very good at lying in in the morning and very poor at going to the gym, but I’m not going to beat myself up about it, it’s far too bumpy to use the one available treadmill. We had a bit of a rush to get to breakfast, even

7th November – Dinner

09/11/201809/08/2021

We had decided to give Commodore O’clock a miss for the evening, but watch a film instead, so I watched Ant Man and the Wasp while Jane slept through it. We did end up in the Commodore Club through for a pre-dinner drink, I was looking forward to a pint

7th November – A Coruña

07/11/201809/08/2021

It was a bumpy old night crossing the Bay of Biscay, I woke at 4am getting rattled from side to side and struggled to get back to sleep. I did though and was woken to the sound of rattling cups with Jane making a coffee, nice. After a breakfast of

6th November – First Sea Day

07/11/201809/08/2021

The first sea day was a quiet one. The clocks went forward so I didn’t wake until 8am, that and the lumpy sea put me off going for a run, so after a shower we went for breakfast. I had planned to attend both lectures in the morning, but before

5th November – Dinner

07/11/201809/08/2021

We went down to dinner on Monday evening to find that we had received a table for ten as requested on the second sitting. As is usual for a first dinner we were missing four diners. Some people have early starts, and long journeys so it’s not unexpected. It also

5th November – Southampton departure

05/11/201809/08/2021

We set off from New Milton at 12:30 and had an uneventful drive to the Mayflower Terminal. After finding a porter and getting rid of our luggage we headed on through to departures and on presenting our e-tickets we were ushered to the priority queue. All was looking good until

4th November – Travelling down

04/11/201809/08/2021

It’s nearly here, we’re all packed, and Minty has been farmed off to Aunty Sarah for his two week’s holiday. The drive down to the south coast started off in glorious sunshine, little did we realise that it’s Bonham’s London to Brighton vintage car rally this Sunday which made for

December 20th – Lisbon

20/12/201709/08/2021

Sailing up the Tagus in to Lisbon is always a beautiful sight, and so it was this morning, sailing up into a sunrise.  I had given up on our ebike tour of Lisbon, we were on the waitlist, and hadn’t received tickets before we went to bed. I was just

December 19th – Leaving the Canaries

20/12/201709/08/2021

We had another day at sea today, heading for our final port of call Lisbon. The day didn’t start particularly well, I somehow missed my alarm at 06:45 and missed getting up for the gym. I was so late I nearly missed getting to breakfast before fencing classes at 08:45.

December 18th – Gran Canaria

20/12/201709/08/2021

The trip from Tenerife to Gran Canaria iIs a short one, we ended up bobbing off the port of Las Palma’s quite early and proceeded to Bob around for several hours just outside until our scheduled arrival at 8am. My legs were aching badly from yesterday’s run, and I could
