Tuesday 14th January

Weather continues in the same vein for the night and much of the day, we are promised improvement as we move west and the storm moves east. Had rather a lazy day couple of pints etc. Had a go in the gym, weights light as a feather one minute heavier than lead the next.

Wednesday 15th January

Woke to blue skies and flat calm with the mood at breakfast defiantly lighter. Saw two small whales playing together as we passed by, no time to photo them as we were doing twenty knots trying to make up lost time and they were heading in the opposite direction but they seemed like they were happy that the weather had improved, in fact they were having a whale of a time, (sorry about that). Talking about having a whale of a time, the ships company had fun putting a fire out this morning, a pretend fire that is, all in the interests of ships safety. And on the subject of ships safety, tonight whilst we are asleep we will pass close to where the Titanic sank on April 14 1912 (within 14 miles of her sinking position). Fortunately this is not iceberg season. Had rather a better time in the gym this afternoon now that the ship has stopped going up and down like a demented elevator.
