Piracy Drill and Porpoising.

Yes, we're in the pirate zone. Seems they've spread their target area since we last took this trip although there have apparently a significantly reduced number of incidents in the last four months. We had to shut ourselves in our cabins and stay away from the windows, with our doors propped open so we could hear the instructions from staff in the hallway. Seems they use high pressure hoses to keep any prospective pirates away. With being so big (the ship!) and fast we don't make an easy target so stop counting the prospective ransome; of course I know you'd pay up to save us?????
    The porpoise bit - I've got cruise brain and can't remember how to spell things! Well we've turned a corner and are now heading up the Indian west coast which means instead a nice porpoise action, diving in & out front on, we are being hit on the port bow and the ship is rolling a bit less comfortably so I got bombed again. Well, I decided to take some more Paihia bombers - they seems to do the trick - at the first sign of squirminess I'm into them.
Hoppy's running between lounges to catch both the State of Origin & the Lions and Force Rugby matches. I've had a sleep (?) and decided to say hello to you lovely peeps. "HELLO".
Love to you all.............XXXXXXXXXXXX
