Coronavirus Virtual Cruise

#1

Post by allatc »

The objective is for us to sail on a virtual cruise calling in at various ports.
Participants must post a photo of a port of call which is no more than one days sail from the previous post.

So, starting from Southampton - Bon Voyage

Brilliant. Did this (after many years of going via Brambles) on Oriana in September 2017.

You're still messing about at sea (in both senses) while we're enjoying a realy nice tour in Brest. Just about to have lunch. Real and virtual. I wonder when the Gala Night is?
