The sea is even MORE angry this day!

So angry we couldn't safely tender to Holyhead, Wales, so the port day was scrapped. Oh well, we love Great Britain so much, we will come back again and do Wales another time.

So we are passing the day away at sea. Currently, our ship is involved in a rescue of some wayward yachtsman. Despite the gale force winds and fog, the deck is packed with folks hoping to get a look sea. It's just like a car accident on the sure-kill expressway. So we played BINGO this morning. I, of course, was the youngest person there...and we didn't win; but we will likely go back for more this afternoon. Tomorrow is our adventure day in Belfast with the rental car---say a little prayer.

Of interesting note, Bruce Springsteen was playing Dublin last evening; sadly it was sold out.
We can also watch the French Open LIVE from our cabin and we have revisited our purchases and had a fashion show of Irish woolens. We have also made special friends with the "pastry waiter" from Jamaica who calls us "his ladies." The captain is making an announcement; sadly we've been stood down for the rescue, but the yacht did sink. Pity! No rescue 'copter either!

So that is all for Wednesday. Keep you fingers crossed for a BINGO pay off this afternoon.

B-I-N-G-O and Bingo was his name-o...sorry to hear you missed out on Wales - it was definitely one of my favorite part of GB. Have fun in N. Ireland and stay on the wrong side of the road.
