Richard Branson isn’t known for being quiet or shy. Recent images of him jumping, fully clothed into a pool on one of his boats looked like a good enough reason to hop onto one! Resilient Lady was waiting patiently in Portsmouth Dock as we clambered on board with about 2,500 of our new best friends. 20 eateries and about the same number of bars on board should keep essential fluids and sustenance requirements sorted. A heap of hot tubs and several pools cater for those who prefer the outdoor experience. There are also a few gyms, yoga and stretchy stuff for those who seem to forget that this is meant to be a holiday! The daily list of stuff on board requires more than one sitting to read through, let alone participate!
English weather delays departure on night one so we popped our PJs on and went to ……. A PJ party! Fortunately I was not the only person with most of his kit off, a lad donning his girlfriend’s see through undies took the biscuit there, enough said! Slow start and wobbly boat the next morning towards A Coruña. Couple of days sailing and here we are. Just need to get back on board before the boat buggers off!
