God Save The King!

Saturday, May 6. At Sea on the way home, North Atlantic, open ocean.

19 C. Light Rain, miserable.

Home in six days.

What a day! Up at 5:30 am to see the preliminary live BBC talks and interviews about today's Coronation of King Charles III, and Queen Camila. We watched it for over six hours sneaking in breakfast and a choir practise for Fellette.

I knew that we would likely be able to catch some of the Coronation on BBC on board. However, I was unaware as how emotionally involved I became. It was absolutely fantastic. Gad, it was like we were in London with the best seats in the house and I was 15 again. The TV coverage was fantastic. Unbelievable really.

Other than watching, participating, in the Coronation today we also had a meeting with The Luggage Man to ensure that we have the best chance of getting our shipped luggage shipped home intact. Our plan is to ship a total of FIVE bags home by the Service offered by the ship. We will travel home with one carry-on bag and a small back pack each. So, no checked luggage on Friday. It should be ok on business class, I don’t want to put any luggage in the Cargo Hold on the way home.

Fellette got one case packed today! We also had a Group Dinner in a Specialty Restaurant with The Cutlers and our other table mates. It was a wonderful evening and a nice way to end day one of six sea days!

The only downer was that we were unable to establish email or text contact with Jeanette, Craig and Adrienne who were up at 2:00 am, Vancouver time, at Craig’s house where Craig baked scones for them while they watched the Coronation! Next time.

A Very Good Day… 

Early this morning.

It has been a long time since we have seen such an example of British Expert use of Military Pageantry. And they do it very, very well.

A Special time in private to be anointed.

Prince William and his Dad!

Just like VE Day!

 

A Balcony Moment. The first without Queen Elizabeth in 70 years!

Fly Past.
