Plain sailing

It's our first full day onboard and we are making good progress across the notorious Bay of Biscay towards northern Spain. So far it's been fairly smooth with only the occasional pitch or roll. Despite a fairly strong breeze, the sun has been shining and the sea is blue. What more could we ask for!
Being a sea day, we've taken things easy. Our plan was to get up moderately early, have a walk round the deck, go to the gym and then head for a leisurely breakfast. All it needed was for the alarm clock to be on the correct time zone (mentioning no names, Andrew!)
So after waking up at 6am, we ventured out onto the Promenade deck and walked 6 laps (equivalent to 2 miles). Then it was up to the gym where we stayed for about half an hour before heading back to our stateroom/cabin (further to yesterday, we may be heading for the Spanish main, but no cannons are needed on this voyage!)
Since then, we've taken it very easy, including a hot stones massage in the onboard spa! We're now getting ready for dinner and thinking what to do tomorrow! Hopefully the sun will keep shing, the breeze will drop and we can spend some time on deck!
Btw - our cabin TV has Tyne Tees regional television! We've just seen an ad for furniture village in Sunderland!
