In March I negotiated to perform a compass adjustment aboard Virgin Voyage's Resilient Lady in part exchange for the use of a passenger cabin between Melbourne and Sydney. She's a very different ship, not my cup of tea but others I know have enjoyed sailing aboard her. Nevertheless, it was a very enjoyable three days for me.

| Nothing else could more clearly demonstrate that this ship is not aimed at me! |

| A startingly flamboyant cabaret show in the theatre. It was very funny and the punters all seemed to thoroughly enjoy it. |
