Day 2 We are Sailing..

It is amazing how it doesn’t take long to get back into cruising mode.  Once you are unpacked, and the bags are stored under the bed, it is like you have never been away.
Today is Meet and Greet day. The invites went out, so it was fingers crossed that Captain Ricky and his team would turn up.  With a sigh of relief, they came.  Although he had another appointment to rush off to, our Captain addressed the group and introduced each of his officers. 





We decided to re-introduce the Bloody Legends awards, and already we have a list of contenders, and of course, our first couple were sensible, like… Ray for his great effort on name tags and Marie for looking after our roll call so well.  But then being the loving wife, I had to give one to Garry for being such a great Wine Dropper!

Our meeting ended with a little get to know you game, well, as well as you can with around 200 people in the Marquis dining room. Everyone seemed happy enough with the way things turned out, except for Mr Grumpy Bridge Player as we broke his precious silence…
Unfortunately, we needed to have the medivac chopper come in and pick up a passenger with ulcer problems, but the captain later told us that he was ok and the rumour mill has it that he will back..
