As we prepared to pull away from Pier 88 last night there was some good news and bad news in Captain Mikael's departure announcement as he explained the route to Bermuda. Firstly its going to get a lot warmer as we head south.
So you can feel a "but" coming on when the Captain begins his report and in this case it was noticeable that everyone was listening that little bit harder. But it's just the usual we will have to pass through a little bit of a swell tonight and all's well, we will be seeing beautiful Bermuda baby!

A bit of a rollercoaster of a nights sleep then but its quite amazing how it just becomes the norm. I'm typing this on a quite warm (for us Brits) sun deck watching the front and back pitch up and down like a see-saw whilst the horizon at the side is 100% sea one minute then all sky the next. The sea looks angry but the sky is white clouds with a nice hot sun breaking through every now and again to warm our tired New York feet.

| Salmon Cataplana |
Dinner tonight (its chic night) was in Qsine again - whilst the idea is ok one criticism I would make is that some of the portions are just way too large given the richness of some of the dishes. Its easy to find yourself quite full before you're half way through as there's no consistency to the size of the dishes.

| Souffle and Soup |
Tonight we had the Lobster Escargot (again), followed by a selection of souffles/ soups presented rather like a chemistry experiment, a Portugese salmon dish "cataplana" cooked and served in a copper shell, filet mignon and a "Persian" chicken kebab.(these last two dishes are full size mains rather than the usual tapas scale and following the very rich souffles are a bit too much).
