Wedding on Board



Wedding - Saturday,  12th January

Today we were invited to the wedding of a couple on our table, Ed and Barbara. We were also privileged to be asked to be official witnesses to the wedding.   Before the wedding Geoffrey collected the groom and took him to the Crows Nest Bar for a quick drink, whilst Doreen stayed with Barbara, who was very nervous.  Her dress was beautiful in the palest turquoise chiffon I had ever seen – she looked quite stunning.



The ceremony was conducted by Captain Trevor Lane (who happened to have been born in Woolwich).





After the ceremony we had the traditional signing of the register, cutting of the cake and, of course, a glass of champagne.  A very enjoyable day.





Sunday, 13th January.

After two or three days of hot sunny weather as we approached the Equator, we went on our morning two mile walk, very hot and very humid, and the heavens opened and we had torrential rain which drove all the walkers inside.  However, we decided to press on and complete our two mile walk and we got absolutely drenched.  All good fun.

As we speak we are crossing the Equator into the southern hemisphere.  Today the weather is still hot, but not quite so humid.  Tomorrow we arrive in South America, to our first port Recife.  We will do a blog on Recife later.
