Pilot dropped off

And off again...

Sitting on deck 10, opposite the naval dockyard in Portsmouth waiting to depart.

We've done muster drill and all we are waiting for is the ship to pull off.

We have two days at sea before our first port of call; I'm intrigued as to what talks will be on offer tomorrow. 

I'll have a walk round deck in the morning then a swim on the Lido deck.  

I've just come back from a quick spa and sit in the steam room (I can breath again) and now tea awaits as does departure.

My greatest hope is the weather improves. It's been miserable at home and the temperatures have been on the floor for a long time.

I need some sun, but then, don't we all?
