Not a good night's sleep as my fix on the wardrobe doors failed, and the drawers kept crashing in and out. Finally solved that problem by wedging the two chairs in front of them. We went through some pretty big seas by the feel of the ship, but it seems a bit calmer now.
After breakfast Mum went to learn beginner Bridge, whilst I found the sewing group and joined in there for while, though not before I had been outside and taken a few photos of the waves! The captain has just informed us that they had to reduce speed three times last night due to the wind and the seas, but we should get to Funchal by noon on Saturday. Not sure whether our shore trip will still be possible, but will find out about that later.
We had lunch in the Spey and Avon restaurant which has lovely big windows, and we got talking to a couple from Bramcote - it's a very small world. Feeling virtuous I went to the gym after lunch, only to discover it was closed due to the bad weather. Afternoon consisted of a classical piano concert, then table tennis (we, or more accurately, I, lost again), and then a cup of tea in the 'pub'. The swell had reduced a lot, but it is still quite hard for mum, and indeed everybody, to walk in a straight line.
After dinner we played Scrabble in the card room. I won, but only just!
