Sea day 7 Jan
Lots of rocking and rolling last night but I'm doing well so either I am no longer a shocking sailor who is sick at the first wave, or the tablets are doing the trick! Breakfast in the cabin at nine and a leisurely start to the day. Time to head for coffee and then take up our spot for craft where today's session is napkin folding. Managed to master all 7 so if you need me to help make your next dinner party a success, I am available at very competitive rates.
We then head to the Vines bar where we order a chacuterie board for our lunch. As we are booked for Sabatinis again for dinner, we have opted for an early light lunch. I need to point out that Julie ate all of the chocolate balls!
We then headed off for the trivia quiz which was all logos to identify. We didnt do too badly. The tie breaker question was what was Mark Zuckerberg worth? I got closer than Julie with my $17 billion response but no where near the $209 USD billion correct answer! Time for reading in the cabin and Julie's off to work on that darn jigsaw again.
Julie has returned to the cabin and is very pleased with herself as the jigsaw is finished. We watch 'The Fall Guy' which turned out to be a waste of time as the storyline was silly. I expect much better from Emily Blunt! We have decided not to go for canapes tonight as we know there are 5 courses to make our way through at the Italian restaurant.
Time for dinner so we head to Sabatinins and are greeted like old friends. It is with much trepidation that we are seated at a table to be served by Dragan, the same waiter who did such a bad job of tending to us on new years eve...
However tonight's service was as we were expecting on our first visit, which was as excellent as the food.
I only managed 3 1/2 courses. Julie got through the 5. I did manage to fit in a Tiramisu cocktail at the end. I wanted a choc mint martini but that wasnt available. Damn!
Time to head to the theatre for a Freddie Mercury tribute show. The singer had a very good voice so sang the numbers well, but he also fancied himself as a comedian and insisted in telling corny jokes throughout. His act was more fitting to a country RSL club rather than the internationally acclaimed act he was introduced as. I just groaned throughout the unfunny blurbs. Mind you, there were others in he theatre who thought he was hilarious so there's no accounting for taste. My dad was one for 'dad jokes' but even he wouldn't have found this guy funny and probably would have squirmed in his seat along with me.
Show over and I'm off to bed. It has been a very lazy day. 3 more sea days ahead til we are back on dry land.

I wonder if Dragan's first shift with real people was New Years, considering how short staffed they state. You'll be pleased to know that Wednesday lunches are back on at the Hedley Community Centre with the first meal being lasagne.
