For the ransom, that is.
We hit pirate territory this afternoon - Oman.
We are low risk, but measures are already in place & we had a drill yesterday morning - new muster stations below the deck areas & no lights or people on deck after dark this evening.
We have razor wire around the decks & fire hoses at the ready - excitement.
I shall be looking out for skull & crossbones to take pictures for J & T.
Second day at sea & two more to come.
Sea is like a mill pond & warm sun, with clouds.
Yesterday was hot, we lay on deck & read (G slept) for part of the day, then choir practice for 11/2 hours followed by the gym, sauna, dinner, a show, tea & bed.
We have just been to a lecture "Laughter the best medicine" by Dr Rami ..., a consultant surgeon from Nottingham.
His third lecture, all brilliant - knowledge & humour.
On Internet whilst it's quiet - everyone on deck, otherwise it is terribly slow (& expensive)
I'm meant to be researching my sermon for Sunday - spare me a thought at 5.30pm ( 2.30, I think). It's not a real sermon.
Notes made then lunch & back on deck until choir at 4.30pm, which is great fun, with a brilliant leader, then the gym.
G has me weight training & the like - hard work but my shoulder is much better.

Are you sure this is a holiday sounds more like hard work ?
