Super

So its a super typhoon. And if the authorities close the Port of Tokyo, the Silver Shadow will have to go sea. Into it. Some guests have already left the ship.

The captain's session in the theatre, whilst very sombre, was enlivened by the usual interventions. 'Will Silversea pay if I leave the ship now?' 'If we go to sea, where will we go?' 'I was a US naval officer and encountered 100 ft waves. I do not recommend them to the rest of you.' The Captain received applause for his reply to the last one. 'If any passenger feels they can help, I will welcome them onto the Bridge'.

One guest wandered into the theatre towards the end (straight from the bar?), grabbed the mic and said 'What's going on here. Could you start again?'

The captain says he has sailed the Silver Shadow into similar conditions before. He has plenty of ballast and will go very slowly.

TSH and Diva are very disappointed that, having already had Seoul cancelled, they have now certainly missed Osaka, Kyoto and Hiroshima whatever happens. But they will tough it out whatever happens.
