Dear Readers,

 

Seems start is definite for tomorrow, Tuesday, time to be advised.

 

More supplies on board so we can probably circumnavigate without restocking. Catering department seems to have excelled itself, notwithstanding non availability of Branston or salad cream.

 

Engineering and deck departments setting up for deck for downwind sleighride.

 

Electrical and communications departments up to speed.

 

Making final arrangements on board, tidying up, filling tanks and final deck scrub.

 

Lovely day today and the forecast is good with winds from the North.
