On our way home

16th April, QM2 is now on her way across the Atlantic, destination Southampton where we arrive on the 22nd. Prior to our departure, the captain announced that passengers should make sure nothing could fall off tables etc in their staterooms just in case we meet heavy seas. Last night was and elegant casual night, the next five are formal and one elegant casual prior to us reaching Southampton. We met our new table guests who joined in New York, two from the US and two from England. We had a pleasant evening with them and believe the next 6 days will be quite enjoyable. We retired to bed around 11pm last night as we were tired from our day out in the Big Apple. We left the ship at 07:10am returning at 4pm. Needless to say we slept like babies. The first thing we noticed on opening our eyes, was how calm it was, with a bit of luck maybe it will stay that way, but maybe we are hoping for too much. Currently our position is 40 degrees 41.07 N and 066 degrees 24.78 W. This places us just of the coast of Nova Scotia at a speed of 22.9 knots.
