Catamaran Capers

Posted on February 22, 2016April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We were up bright and early again this morning; from our balcony we could see that the Adonia was just about to drop anchor off a series of small hilly islands; this was Mayreau, St. Vincent & Grenadines, another new port of call for us. From our vantage point the sea looked very choppy, in…

A Smashing Time in the Indian Ocean

Posted on January 13, 2015April 5, 2022 by bollingerbabe

I woke up in the middle of the night – I think it was about 3.00am – to go to the toilet, and I noticed that the Voyager was at sea once again, but I don’t know what time she eventually left port. The creaking and rattling noises around the cabin indicated that the sea…

Helicopter and High Seas

Posted on November 22, 2014April 6, 2022 by bollingerbabe

During the night, we knew we had left the relative shelter of the fjords and were once again in the open sea, because the Boudicca was tossed about on the waves like a pea in a drum.  I kept waking up during the night with my bed moving in all directions, and when I needed the…

Bye-Bye Braemar

Posted on January 31, 2014June 30, 2022 by bollingerbabe

When we got up this morning after another rough night at sea we were back where we started from, in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.  Some other lucky people would be in cabin 7050 tonight, just starting their cruise, whereas for us our holiday is finished.  🙁 At the end of each voyage every passenger receives…

Las Palmas, Gran Canaria

Posted on January 29, 2014April 10, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Had a lie-in this morning and decided not to go down to breakfast.  I just made a cup of coffee with the kettle in our cabin, and Trevor brought me back a muffin from the buffet as the Malarone prophylaxis have to be taken with food.  I don’t know whether it was the all the…

Destination Denmark

Posted on July 10, 2013April 11, 2022 by bollingerbabe

When we woke up this morning we’d already lost an hour of the day, as we’d had to put our clocks forward an hour last night in line with European time. The day was already dawning bright and sunny although there was a brisk sea breeze and quite a lot of movement of the Black…

Missing Man

Posted on May 27, 2013April 14, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Well, what a complete waste of a day today turned out to be! During the night I woke up several times and I could hear the wind howling and the waves crashing against the hull of the Adonia below our balcony.   After 32 cruises, we are used to feeling the motion of the ship when…

Hebrides and Malin

Posted on May 25, 2013April 14, 2022 by bollingerbabe

When we woke up this morning, we looked out to a grey sky and grey sea, and a cold wind was blowing. God, the British weather is really rubbish.  Here it is, May Bank Holiday weekend, and we still have the vestiges of the winter hanging on. I don’t know why we bothered to get…

There Are Warnings Of Gales…

Posted on May 23, 2013April 14, 2022 by bollingerbabe

During the night we woke several times as the wind had got up and large waves were crashing off the side of the Adonia, and we could feel our beds shaking. When we got up it was quite difficult moving around our cabin due to the ship’s motion.  Not to worry though; sea-sickness has never…

Travelling to Tenerife

Posted on January 6, 2013April 28, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Got up at 8.30 this morning after a fairly calm night, considering we were starting to sail across the Bay of Biscay, infamous for rough waters and much pitching and tossing of the ship. Trevor and I are never sea sick and, in actual fact, quite enjoy it when the waves are high and you…
