Well the verandah furniture has been back where it belongs since last night - that's got to be positive. It looks pretty calm out there now. The rough seas they were anticipating obviously didn't happen.

We were whale watching in Compass Rose this morning and then saw another couple from the cabin - that's a bonus!

I'm off to have my first manicure in about ten years when my daughter gave me a voucher as a birthday gift. It's something I'm always going to do but never get around to it.

Michael has been having trouble with his internet connection but hopefully he will get some of his 'better' shots on the board soon.

Beth: I should have taken a page out of your book and ordered half the amount of Alaskan King Crab - I just couldn't eat it all. They weren't sure what to make of me when I asked for a 'doggy bag' to send the leftovers home to Brian!
