Sometimes I forget that I'm actually on a ship and that the internet isn't a guaranteed thing....in fact it's a total luxury!!!! We have broadband satellite internet - which is lovely - except for the fact when the ship is on a NNE'ly heading the receiver is in the shadow of the ships mast....which means the internet no worky! We've been at anchor for several days now....with a strong wind blowing out of the NNE....which means we're riding on the hook heading straight into the wind!!!! GRRRRR.....

Internet on a ship can probably be compared to crack.....and trust me when I say I've been going through withdrawls!!!!

The good news is that there hasn't been too much going on so the blog hasn't missed out on much.

The best thing that has happened in the past few days is that the Cadet and I filled up the pool - yes we have a pool!!!!
