This morning, when we awoke we were stationary 500 Mts from Busselton pier not long after the caption announce that the two-meter swell was too rough for the tenders to be used to transport the people going to shore and we were going to have a day at sea and our next port of call would be Fremantle the morning was overcast and with a strong wind then around midday the clouds disappear and the wind to gentle sea breeze.                                                                                                                  Dinner was at the same time I had snapper the worst cooked fish I have ever had then it was to the Princess Theater where Mikey Votano was performing and very good then back to the Crooners Bar for a night cap.

        docked at Albany on a partly cloudy morning after breakfast we got the shuttle bus into town

        where we had a walk around town and the clouds had gone and it was a bright sunny day after 

        two hours it was time to go back to the ship and relax in the sunshine as everyone had to be back                onboard by 1500 for a 1530 departure but 1545 the captain advised that there would be a delay as

        a passenger had taken sick, and an ambulance had been called it did arrive 45 minutes later and we 

        departed at 1710 after dinner it was again to the Princess Theatre for show the two little wired guys

        then back to the Crooners Bar for a night cap.

After another good night sleep, it was breakfast at 1000 and the rest of the day at our leisure it was a cloudy and overcast all day with the sun trying to shine through with no success, so we spent most of the day trying to keep out of the wind.

After dinner it was off to the Princess Theater for a Mo Town music show and was very good, than as usual then to the Crooners Bar for a night cap.
