We arrived here early in the morning and the weather was good. Capt. Wright had to maneuver
the QM2 through a small opening to the dockside. I remember the trouble they had last time
we docked, however, we made it with a few feet to spare. After breakfast, we walked the deck and watched our ship load supplies for the next leg of the journey, crossing the South Atlantic
almost directly opposite The Cape of Good Hope, about 6 sailing days to the East.
Last night we heard a very fine musician, Suzanne Godfrey, an Irish flutist or some say,
flautist ( From the Italian, flauto, for flute). She played a number of Henri Mancini's pieces.
He was a flutist, something I didn't know. The "Pink Panther Theme" and from Breakfast at
Tiffany's, "Moon River", his favorite and mine as well. Audrey Hepburn starred in that film.
The ship is deserted at the present time since most passengers are on tours. We decided to take
a pass from the usual guided tours and go out on our own this afternoon. This is a good time to
work on the computers which get crowded when all are on board.
I'm not sure that you are getting this blog so if you are, let me know on E-Mail. I hope Aubrey
and Walter are following us. Walter, they have an excellent jazz group on the QM2 and
I think of you everytime the trumpeter goes to work.
While having lunch at the Lotus our former waiters on the World Cruise 2009, Chris and
Dario, stopped by to see us and chat about their work and families.
