The weather in Djupivogur was cold and misty and TSH and Diva stayed on the Silver Spirit. The Panorama lounge was only a few degrees warmer than outside and it stayed that way despite several guests (including Diva) and crew reporting the situation. They were told that it was equally cold on the Bridge. If the senior officers cannot keep themselves warm there is not much hope for anyone else.
Concerned about the North Atlantic crossing to Ireland, Diva
consulted the Met Office shipping forecast. She has no experience with this
information and does not really understand it but 2 large deep red rectangles
right in the path of the Silver Spirit did not seem good. She considered informing
Captain Ivo, just in case he was not aware of the dangers ahead but TSH advised
against this, as he was sure that Captain Ivo would have his own sources. When the
Captain spoke to the guests he indicated that the sea would be ‘moderate to
rough’, so Diva issued Stugeron and they hoped for the best. The necklace that
Diva chose for the evening was likened by one of the crew to one that was found
on Titanic – not a good omen on a cruise ship!! At the time of writing, nothing too bad has
been experienced.
Here is a picture of Viking Mars – anchored quite close to Silver Spirit in Djupivogur. This is not a bad photograph, this is exactly how it was.
