We are now getting ready for our last port of call the tiny island of Horta part of the Azores in mid Atlantic a favourite stopping place for the Yachting fraternity doing Atlantic crossings. It is rare for cruise ships to call in, this only occurs a couple of times a year, so it has no large ship docking facilities and ships have to anchor off shore with cruise passengers having to be tendered across by the ships lifeboat's, this takes some considerable time and can be a bit like a fairground ride. At the moment tendering looks in doubt as the sea could have quite a swell and the rise and fall between ship and tender could be to great to make this a safe operation, the other risk is after getting people ashore the weather worsens and people cannot get back on board ship. If it does go ahead I think this exercise will offer great people watching opportunities, in a sadistic sort of way!!
Some of my top sightings in these last few sea days include, the 5ft 4" lady who is the same width, wearing a Pink mini Pom Pom dress and knee length black Lycra cycling shorts closely followed by a Blue Rinsed lady exiting the Ladies Loo with not only her dress tucked in her knickers but sporting a toilet roll tail. On the sun deck there have been quite a number of Wardrobe Malfunctions not on a par with Janet Jackson at the Super Bowl, more like Mrs Mills. Tattoos are not the property of just the young many of the mid seniors are sporting them and they are on display unabashed during copious sunbathing sessions, but be warned what started out as a cute little Dolphin on holiday in Turkey, can in later life become a Sperm Whale.
