It had rained overnight.
Who would have thought? We have
started to see some containerships as we are in the sea lanes.
Went to the morning lecture on the Naval and aerial campaign
that was quite interesting and informative.
Apparently ships were still being hit by sea mines in the 1920s. Went to
a meeting with people with relatives in the Light Horse or who have an
interest. It’s always fun to watch someone use a microphone and not have it
switched on.
The afternoon lecture was on The Hellespont and quite
interesting having a bit of Ancient History and Lord Byron being woven in to
it.
The ship has been buzzed by what has been variously
described as a helicopter from HMAS Adelaide or a Russian helicopter but no one
knows for sure. The glimpse I saw it
looked like a Russian one. If they were
trying to check out good sorts on the pool deck they may have been disappointed
and may be more likely to launch a missile instead. The crew last night were allowed to party on
the pool deck which they have never been allowed to do before but I suspect
that it is a very long cruise for them to be away from home.
