Our second and last sea day and it was lovely
to finally get a lie in. While we were having breakfast we spotted the spout of a whale - but no actual whale! Then I went to the stitch
and chat. I have no idea how some people have managed to complete their kits already! They must work on them everywhere!! Then I felt I was quite warm enough to take advantage of the lovely comfy sunbeds on the Pool Deck and watch a trio of gannets circling the ship on the hunt for food As it became chilly, I asked for
and was brought a thick woollen blanket by the pool boy and tucked in - bliss. A deck stewardess
brought me a cappuccino to complete the pampered feeling.
We had lunch in the Terrace
Café before changing and going up to play shuffleboard – the rules on Nautica were
slightly different from those I am used to in that only one end each was played and since only six of
us were playing anyway I won another Big O point for coming third! It was a
lazy afternoon. Went to Trivia quiz and our team won (my piece de resistance
was guessing Sumo Wrestling for question, what sport would you be watching if you went to a Bashu?).
We got dressed for dinner
early as we wanted to go to the final recital by the Fjord Cadenza Ensemble. It
was wonderful listening to more of the music of Grieg while remembering our sail
through the fjords yesterday. Tomorrow the Platters are joining Nautica for the final night showpiece. We
were then at a bit of a loose end as we had booked Toscana for dinner but not
until 8.30. A reminder notice was kindly slotted into our post slot on the
cabin door earlier in the day.

| The beautiful library on Nautica |
We sat in the Library and watched the sun set as we sailed between
the Inner and Outer Hebrides, before joining our table of six for a fabulous
Italian meal – huge selection of breads, an olive oil menu etc. Chose a starter
of pasta followed by Sea Bass in a wonderful delicate sauce and then tiramisu.
