Day 16 - Sailing the English Channel

After a choppy night on the Irish Sea we woke up just as we were passing Lands End.  

Today is our only "at sea" day of the cruise and we're meant to be "sailing the English Channel ", but they kept the ship right out in the middle of the Channel, so there really wasn't anything to look at.  We aso seemed to be going extremely  slow. Despite  having passed  Lands End in the morning  we still hadn't  passed Cherbourg by mid afternoon.   I could have driven from Cornwall to  Dover more quickly. 

At least the weather was nice and Becky and I managed to have a nice walk around the sundeck for an hour.  We also took care of housekeeping items  like doing our laundry,  washing our hair and starting our packing as there are only 2 more days left before we disembark. 

The highlight of the day was winning the last trivia quiz of the cruise.  Rather than bother with a boring photo of the view of the sea from deck, I'll finish with one of the 3000 piece jigsaw that I finally finished (barring a few missing pieces).

  1. Thunderstorms and heavy rain were predicted in that part of the country, which is probably why.
