Day 14 Shorts, t-shirts and breakfast al fresco, and 64 days left!

This is brilliant! Every day, a different sea-scape or port to wake up to. No longer do I doubt the wisdom of investing in a stateroom with a balcony. Yesterday, I looked across to Cuba on the distant horizon. Today, it’s Hispaniola. And from now on until further down in South America, guaranteed warmth, if not necessarily, good weather. The pessimists on board have told me to expect possible cloud cover on Sugar Loaf Mountain, and the same to obscure the view of Christ The Redeemer, both in Rio de Janeiro. Last year, I was warned that Mount Robson in Canada was obscured by cloud cover on all but around eight days of the year. I “got lucky!”

It’s far too nice to spend indoors. I shall therefore avail myself of the open decks and enjoy what feels like a pleasant day in early summer. However, there will still…

….be that 2pm call for whist…(Daveeeeed!)
