5th & 6th March - At Sea


5th  March 2012 – At Sea
After  steaming up the coast overnight a check of our position at around 9.30am put us about 20nm east of Woolli, just south of Yamba. By noon we were off Tweed Heads.
The weather is overcast , but mostly fine with a few scattered showers and a fresh breeze. A couple of times it looked ominous, but nothing materialized.


We did 12 laps of the Promenade Deck, (about 6.4 km) before breakfast, trying to get into some sort of disciplined routine to keep the weight under control.

The breakfast buffet was very good with plenty of healthy, and not so healthy, options. We stuck with the healthy options. 

After breakfast we had a further look around the ship, and relaxed up on the pool deck reading until lunch where we again opted for the convenience of the buffet. Once again the food selections were very good with lots of fresh salads available as well as the usual hot food options.

We headed off to the movies after lunch to see “Midnight in Paris”, then a bit of a break before heading off to the Wheelhouse Bar for a predinner drink, entertained by the same group as last night, and the off to our 7.45pm dinner setting.

Our couple from Melbourne has deserted us and moved to another table, so we are down to four just (us and the couple from Perth). 

Tues 6th March is another restful day at sea.

We did our 12 laps of the Promenade deck before breakfast and had a pretty lazy day. By midday we were off Gladstone, steaming along at around 16-17 knots.

We spent most of the day further exploring the ship, lazing around the pool reading our books and eating and drinking.

Tomorrow morning we will arrive at the Whitsundays, anchoring in Pioneer Bay, off Airlie Beach.
