Saturday July 13 – At Sea

We were back into the swing of a normal sea day today. We began this morning by watching Geelong defeat St Kilda even though they did not play very well.  A happy result.  There were the usual Tai Chi, Line Dancing with Gareth, East Coast Swing for ballroom dancing, a talk on Iceland and for evening entertainment, Carlos Nesbitt, a Spanish vocalist.  He had a great voice and sang quite an eclectic range of songs.  We had hoped to watch the women’s finals at Wimbledon but when we returned from line dancing it was all over and Halep had beaten Williams quite quickly.  This was a surprise as Serena looked very sharp yesterday in the semi finals.  We will miss the men’s final tomorrow as we will be out all day on a tour of Iceland.  The best Wimbledon match we watched this year was the men’s semifinal between Nadal and Federer.  Federer could not do anything wrong.

The seas are reasonably calm with just a gentle rocking motion at night.  Now that we are fairly far north the days are long and the sky is overcast.  Tomorrow when we go ashore the temperature is predicted to be between 10 and 13⁰C.  Time to get out our warm clothes.
