Day 8 All at Sea
Today was our first sea day as we made our way down the English Channel and across the Bay of Biscay.
To give you some idea of the progress we are making, this was our position around 4pm local time today.
We have filled the day reading and we both went to a very interesting talk by a history professor on smuggling on the Cornish coast. Later in the day we were having a coffee in a rather full area and this couple came up and asked if they could use the two spare seats at our table. We got chatting and after a bit of information was exchanged, finally realised that the lady was the professor who had done the lecture.
Jeanette went to two other lectures, one from a former BBC Royal reporter and another from a guy who set up computerised crime databases.
Tonight was our first themed gala night, this one was Black and White so everybody was out in evening dress with a black and white theme.
