Good Morning everyone and just before I start, I refer you to yesterday’s blog where I tried a sublime joke which as Heidi said would happen……no bugger got it. I was referring to the time machine and stopping George going to the theater…………obviously I was referring to President Lincoln but in a week where I upset Captain Rude by naming Eisenhower instead of Truman ……………I though I would continue……………but nobody laughed…………..double bugger.

Just before I carry on can I say a huge thank you to all the people at Dover for making us feel so welcome? Homeports are very important to the guests and the crew and Dover has made us feel very at home………..thanks to them all.

So, here we go, it’s good by to the brilliant Baltic and hello to the Med. Let’s see who is sailing with us this week.

Today marks the seventh-year anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
We extend our thoughts and prayers to all who lost their lives, as well as their families,
friends and loved ones.

When you walk through the storm
Hold your head up high,
And don’t be afraid of the dark.
At the end of the storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.

Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on walk on, with hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone
You’ll never walk alone
