DAY 227 WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 7 EXPLORING

The ship was rolling during the night and we woke to a cloudy, damp day. We were following the coast up to Cape Reinga so land was visible for much of the day.  A blow of steam was visible at 9.30am but too far away to tell whether it was a whale or a porpoise.
We have no large cranes on this ship so the view from our cabin is unrestricted and makes up for the fact that we have not been invited up to the bridge.
After lunch we were given the obligatory "Familiarisation" safety lesson by a Filipino Officer. After tea we went for a walk along the main deck.
Since there were no crew outside we were required to sign off by ringing the bridge when we cam back inside.
