Bon Voyage Silver Moon!!!

[rojaan19]

So my view from my table at Kaiseki today - I was the only one in there !  Ron was on tour  and not back for lunch,  tendering was taking some time as it was not SS, so it was just me in there for lunch !! 🙂

Off Santorini today is the Windstar Star Pride (formerly Seabourn pride 312 pax), Nicko cruises Vasco Da Gama (formerly Statendam then Pacific Eden 1258 pax) and 2 much smaller Expedition ships.

But Oia was still quite crowded.

It's no fun with nobody there and trying to eat seventy five pieces washed down with a bucket of miso soup.

Man V Food anyone?

It was just the Pride when I looked earlier.  Still a lot fewer than in the high summer, when it can be horrendous.

Looks like a much more interesting space compared to the Muse. I like that they have what appears to be a sushi bar.

Well running hot on the Moon. Just extended our winning run at Trivia to 6 with a perfect 20 today and double points.

I have improved my putting with the simple change of consuming a gin and tonic whilst putting. Started this 6 days ago but missed 1 day. Have won 4 times and once second. Last 2 days have won by 6 shots. Two holes in one each day helped.

I bet the rest of the guests love you 🙄

Change over day,  so very busy for the crew, the newbies start arriving at noon.

 

[rojaan19]

From what I have seen so far of the newbies, we are of the lower age demographic  😮😮

I obviously made an impression as nearly everyone left in Athens. Only 20 left for the next segment.

[lincslady]

And apparently a lot of old newbies.

That ought to scare @Jloss.

Unfortunately alot of the newbies share another characteristic - A total lack of spatial awareness. Had to give up after 10 laps on deck 11 because it was so hard to continue. Groups standing on the track, walking slowly 3 abreast and no effort to let anyone past and turning sun lounges around so the stuck out across the walking track.

Much better in the afternoon so did 22 laps. Only annoyance was one fellow who when overtaking me said outside lane is only for overtaking. Never has been before. Also when overtaking anyone would run. So when he was about to overtake me the third time I said running on decks is prohibited. He got the message.

Got a new UK couple and joined a transiting US couple and came third in trivia.

Didn't feel confident at golf as 17 attendees and the first 4 travelling together were members of a golf club. 3 out of 4 had a hole in one on the first hole. I was the third last to go. Stumbled and nearly lost my G&T but also only took one shot. Ended up tied for first with one other. A G&T is magic.

Let's be careful using my namesake as an excuse for anything. 😉

When in doubt always take Stumble's name in vain!

Hi Ann, 

Is it lying on it's side because it's a Sea Day so it's resting?

 

Hope you're still loving your 54 days.
