Today, we were at sea again, on our way towards our next destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because I had a class on the last sea-day, it meant today was a non-class day for me. I’m still not used to this ‘one sea-day on \/ one sea-day off’ routine, but it does enable me to have a bit of extra breathing space, the occasional lie-in, and lots of time to work on other stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, for example, we arose quite late, but just in time for breakfast (that finishes at 10am in the bistro). After breakfast, we spent some time out on deck, after which Tracey took some stuff up to Scott’s Bar to do, while I stayed downstairs in the cabin to catch up with online student work. It was while I was in the cabin that there came a knock on the door\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026 it was the man to open the deadlights\u2026 Yeeeey! Finally, we have natural light!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All of which took us up to lunchtime. After lunch, we sat in on a talk by resident wildlife lecturer, Sue Walsh, and then I spent about 45 minutes or so on the wi-fi, checking for mail and dealing with other important correspondence. I then joined Tracey up on deck in the hope of seeing some dolphin or other wildlife activity. Unfortunately, the birders were all quite despondent at the lack of action, so we eventually headed back inside, where it was a bit warmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The seas have remained calm throughout, so far, and although it can still be quite nippy out on deck, the temperature is definitely starting to rise a little, and we haven’t seen any rain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
