Thursday 25th April - Anzac Day New York

 John was up early on Thursday, and did a walk around the ship and noticed that on the dock beside the Aircraft Carrier Museum, "USS Intrepid", there was a Dawn Service being conducted.  

We had a relaxing morning, and lunch in the Dining Room.

John went and toured the "Intrepid" Museum.  Among the exhibits on board  were, The Concord, the Space Shuttle, Enterprise, and the Soviet Union Soyuz Capsule

I stayed on the Ship and sat in the Top Sail Lounge, with a coffee, doing my cross stitch.

The ship departed New York at 6.00pm, whilst we enjoyed the Sail Away Party on Deck 18, drinking Manhattans and Cosmopolitans, eating sliders and assorted finger food. It became really cold and windy, so we decided to go to one of the lower decks.  We sailed past the Statue of Liberty and under the Verrazzano Narrows Bridge heading for Bermuda

We sat up until 12.30 talking to Malcolm, a man we met from Jersey, off the coast of France, and then remembered that the clocks had to go forward 1 hour !!!!
