Revisita España 2014 - Day 2

At sea.

The ship seems quite noisy. Not just the neighbours but the engine sounds and the vibration through the decks and fittings.

So far just a gentle swell as we awoke at 7am or maybe 8am. We haven't a clue whether the ship is on UK or Spanish time.

The view from the window in the cabin. Sea and sky.

We went and had a look at breakfast in the self-service.  A choice of full English or continental. We went for the less belly busting continental. With coffee. The coffee on the ship is pretty decent.

Then sunned ourselves for a while followed by a siesta before we went to have a lunch of soup and a roll.  

I managed to get TomTom to find the satellites so we could see where we were. So far very few announcements from the crew of where we are.

At 1430 still no sign of land but TomTom showing us about 100 miles off Santander.

The downside to this long crossing in August is that the boat is overrun with kids. A lot of them being looked after pretty responsibly, but a big but. It does seem that "out of sight, out of mind" is the order of the day. The girls in the cabin next to ours make so much noise in the room and in the corridor, the corridor with loads of water everywhere, and not from the sea! The parents/guardians? Sitting on their arses in the bar playing cards. Cheers t*ssers.

Tick-tock.

Another two hours passed and now about 24 hours since we left Poole. Spain looks to be a faint smudge on the horizon. Still over two and a half hours to the scheduled arrival time.

Ideal storage place for magnetic tank bag.
