We would spend all day today and tomorrow at sea en route to Belfast, and we wondered how the captain was going to turn what is usually an overnight crossing into a two-day voyage.  Nonetheless, we always enjoy sea days very much, there is always so much to see and do on board. When we…

We got up this morning around 8.00am and eagerly went out onto the balcony to see what the weather was like. It promised to be sunny and warm, and we’d left the balcony door wide open last night to let in the cool sea air; it is so much nicer than the drying effects of…

Scintillating Scilly Isles

Posted on August 1, 2021March 25, 2022 by bollingerbabe

When I opened my eyes this morning, the first thing I could see was a sideways-view of the sparkling sea gliding past our balcony doors; we leave the curtains open at night for this very reason.  Always a great start to any day.  😊 Going out onto the balcony, we were pleased to see fluffy…
