Saturday 3rd May

Leaving the bay of Naples behind us, we crossed the Tyrrhenian Sea and headed out into the Mediterranean’s rougher weather, the first choppy water we’ve seen for some time. Talk today was by Commander Jeff Tall on the history of the RN submarine service up to 1945. Part two, 1945 will be after our visit to Palma. Not much happened during the day due to the weather, though this did moderate later in the day but not soon enough to avoid a poor turn out for dinner. We also went to watch the comedian (Adrian Walsh) who was a bit disappointing as even Carol knew the ending to some of the jokes, but he did work hard to get a laugh, I’ll give him that. Early rise tomorrow so that’s it for now.
