Southampton/Sea day

July 6th/7th
Southampton/Sea Day

Back in Southampton for the 6th and ready to start off on what will be my 3rd cruise since joining the Queen Victoria. I was a little slow getting off the ship today due to the rainstorm that greeted me that morning at breakfast. Seeing as my main reason for getting off the ship is for internet, there was no way I was going to risk traveling into the city in the rain with my computer in an old backpack that has surely lost any waterproofing qualities it might have once had. It wasn’t until about 2:00 when I made my way outdoors, leaving me about 2 hours to catch up on two weeks of cruising. Not much more to say, I got done what I needed, didn’t have much time for shopping, and made it back to the ship just barely on time. The rest of the day went as usual with the welcome aboard shows, and we set off for Norway.
The 7th was a sea day, and uneventful. We had a production show that night following a Dixie show in the afternoon. You know, I’m actually liking the Dixie sets I have to play on the clarinet. Despite still thinking the clarinet would serve more use in a fireplace, the Dixie set almost has me making friends with it. Anyways, everything went fine and that’s the day, thanks!
