In the spirit of keeping everyone in the loop I want to honestly apologize for the vast amount of space in between updates this season. I know I ‘talked’ a lot during my summer contract and by contrast I must seem pretty silent these days. Rest assured – the blog isn’t going anywhere, I’m only quiet at the moment because there honestly is less to talk about!
The first half of the contract I mostly stayed in, the gremlins in the system made things awfully stressful and downright exhausting for everyone involved and it wasn’t until we – with the massive assistance of a lot of brilliantly determined people – chased the last of the nasty blighters out of the clockwork that we even started to feel the knots in our shoulders unclench.
To put things in perspective: that was just before Hong Kong! Therefore, it’s only recently that I’ve really had the focus or the energy to do much at all! At times like that it’s usually best to just hunker down and hibernate until the worst of it passes, so that’s precisely what I proceeded to do – wrapped myself in my seal skin and hid from the world 😉
Also contributing is the fact that we really do have a great many sea days on this cruise, and while sea days are busy busy busy (“hurry hurry hurry till we’re done!” indeed!) they don’t tend to leave much to report that’s of interest to the outside world!
But now, the second half of the cruise is in full swing, the ports are a smidge closer together and the days are starting to blur together in that blast of colour that means things are going well, so I may find myself a bit more loquacious in the coming weeks…
In the meantime, I continue to wish you fair winds and following seas…
‘Till Next
