Portland Docks for Weymouth

We woke up in Portland Docks, an ex navy facility on Portland island. After breakfast we took the shuttle bus into Weymouth and spent a couple of hours around the old harbour and had coffee in the church hall. Last time we were here was 2012 for the Olympic sailing events. Nice sunny day, back on board for cake at bacio and afternoon tea. We sailed away to a heritage cannon firing from the dock and dolphins leaping out of the water. Another nice dinner of baked trout and sea food orzo. Fitted in the show and cocktails.

Southampton to ??

We started for Southampton at 8:30 with fingers crossed that the EPC alarm on the VW was just a software glitch. Stopped at a McDonalds for breakfast bap and coffee at the same time as folks leaving Carfest so it took a long time. Then we killed a bit more time by having a shandy at Wetherspoons in town before our boarding appointment at 2pm.

Once in our cabin 6215 and unpacked we discovered that first stop at Guernsey has been cancelled because of windy weather and replaced by Portland in Dorset.

We had dinner in main restaurant at 8:45, up to usual standard, rib of beef and home style pork chop. No cocktails early night.

Packed for Southampton

We are packed and ready to join the Celebrity Silhouette for a 12 night cruise to Iceland tomorrow. It's 140 mile drive on bank holiday Monday so we aim to be off by 8:30am.
