22/12/11 - Lord Nelson

There were sightings of more whales on several occasions (I missed them all!). Dare we say there's been no rain but at present, no wind either, so we're going to have to resort to engine power soon to get us to La Palma in time. The Independence of the Seas passed us ablaze with light last night as we were decorating the bridge with tinsel and baubles and eating chockies left by our watchleader Dave, who was on mess duty. Some people are wearing shorts now as the temperature is no longer cold. Betty, Aft Port
