Last day of holiday

Tai Chi on deck again, in almost complete isolation. Balance is much easier, in spite of the vibration of the engines and the gusty wind. Excellent lecture from Peter Crimes, who has researched the mutiny on the Bounty, and has discovered that Captain Bligh was a fair and reputable captain and Fletcher Christian the disreputable one. He had found that the cause was drugs and women. From the pics and description of Pitcairn, the wonder is that anyone goes there or still lives there.
The English pub theme in the bar at lunch time involved a long queue, so TSH and Diva went to the usual buffet, where there were fish and chips but they had forgotten to provide chips!! This meant they missed the singalong – the only one they heard was ‘slow boat to China’, which is not the right era for two children of the sixties.
Time to pack for home!!
