The Cruise 2011 Day 13

We have arrived at our final port of call, Vigo. This was the location of last year's puncture drama, so we decided not to tempt fate and stayed aboard. The boys spent the morning of what was probably going to be there last day in the pool. After lunch the afternoon was filled with Crazy Golf, climbing wall and the first attempt on the Flow Rider. Jake managed his 2nd complete ascent of the wall which scales 20 metres up the back of the ship's funnels. Daniel also managed his highest climb just short of the summit. Only Jake was tall enough for FlowRider, an artificial wave for surfing and belly boarding. After waiting 45 minutes in the cold wind as we left Vigo, we were rewarded by watching jake being swept to the top of the flowrider by the force of the water. Jake's light build simply couldn't put enough weight on the front of the board to keep him on the wave. Anyway he still enjoyed it. Tracy took the boys to Johnny Rocket's Diner for tea; I gave it a miss this time.


We all met again for the evening's show which was the final production by the ship's perfomers. The amusement arcade, the Rock Britannia street party (a final opportunity to attempt to be filmed by the roaming cameraman and get on the cruise DVD. Previous attempts are unlikely to make the final edit as they have invariably ended up as a squabble. We have higher hopes for tonight's performance by Jake doing his Townsend windmill air guitar), and our regular fix of Rock The Boat. Tonight's set including Led Zeppelin's Rock n Roll; the drummer providing a very impressive Robert Plant substitute. Almost 2am in bed!
