We awoke to the rocking and rolling of the ship. We had rather a rough time in the night, compared with the previous nights but it wasn�t bad enough to keep us awake. We could hardly keep our feet when we went into the children�s dining room, but luckily not one of us was seasick. So now I believe we are good sailors as we have passed through the Bay of Biscay without being sick!

The morning was beautiful, the sun was shining but the wind was very cold and scarves were still quite fashionable. All we have to do is sit and wait for meal times. Sometimes we walk around the deck three or four times. It makes you feel like goldfish in a bowl.

In the afternoon we rested until 4 pm � light tea, after which a little time spent on the decks brought teatime for Stuart and bed.

After our dinner we had coffee in the lounge and then went into the enclosure to play �Housey � Housey� (Bingo). There were good money prizes, but of course we had our usual luck! We came down from there and made a pot of tea and along with some friends of ours we piled into the boys cabin for tea, cake and marshmallow biscuits, all of which we brought with us.

Then we went to bed and hoped for a calm night and day, as it had been rather groggy.
