    Hi Guys, The Ovation of the Seas is 168000 tons. There are over 4000 passengers onboard. We are on the second cruise of a back to back booking. The demographics are different with a much younger set this time than on the last cooler cruise.

    Unfortunately Liz and I have both contracted Covid so are confined to our balcony cabin for the duration. C'est la vie.

    We have been given the anti viral cocktail by the excellent doctor and get full cruise credit for a future cruise for the days in confinement. We are sitting out on the balcony for our meals enjoying the sight of Vanuatu and the warm pacific air. The tenders are busy ferrying folk ashore, they look like big fat yellow beetles. There are jet skis flitting about and making patterns amid much shrieking and laughter. I do not think any other isolation in the world could be this good.

    I apologise to our northern friends and I do know the temperature up there is not very kind. We like to watch the Narrowboat that James built on youtube and he said it was minus 3 with a minus 6 due last night. Those are temperatures that few Aussies ever experience.

    That is tough luck Gary. I hope you both recover quickly.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
