Embarking on our cruise from Brisbane on Saturday the weather was beautiful and we left on time. A quick lunch at the buffet, unpacked, and a bit of a rest before joining the afternoon trivia in the Orient bar. I couldn't convince H to have dinner in the restaurant so another buffet for me and burger and chips from the grill. We went to the hypnotist. Anthony B Laffan's show and both really enjoyed it. Topped off the night with an ice cream each from New Zealand Ice creamery .
As we both needed an early night we read books and settled in for the night. Unfortunately we were woken at about 11:30pm with a man overboard. Lights were thrown in the water, ship slowed as much as possible. Swift water craft was lowered. The captain eventually announced that CCTV footage confirmed that there was no one overboard and it was a false alarm. So that was good news. I can't imagine the stress the crew were under. I found it a bit stressful just thinking about it, helpless to do anything. But anyway, back to sleep for another day.
