01/12/24  Sun. The Christmas Tree lighting up ceremony was scheduled for 6pm tonight but it was delayed until 7.30pm for some reason.  We had a grandstand view from the boat of the firework display and the tree lights coming on.  The tree used to be in Baywalk but they moved it to the Peoples Park a couple of years ago and made it 100 feet high. This year, it's 153 feet high!

04/12/24 Weds. A few days ago, I was locked out of my Microsoft account - so no email available to me anymore.  No matter what I try, I cannot 'unlock' it.  This is the second time this has happened to me and it causes so much grief having to make another email, then change all the apps, banking, and notify all contacts.  I hate Microsoft!

0812/24 Sun.  Took Ana ashore this morning at 0500 for her flight home.

10/12/24 Tues. The cruise liners that were due in to PP have not arrived and looking at NCL it seems that all have been cancelled for operational reasons.

11/12/24 Weds. I've been woken up in the early hours over the last couple of days by vivid lightning flashes and thunder that made everything on the boat shake and rattle.  We've had strong winds and torrential rain.  This morning it dried up and a weak sun came out.  I went over to the yacht club and had a late lunch then made my way to the airport to meet Ana.  I arrived about 5 minutes before the scheduled arrival, only to get a message from Ana saying they hadn't yet taken off from Manila!  So, off to the coffee shop and settle in for an hour or so.

1312/24 Fri.  It's becoming obvious that we are not going to be ready to leave before my visa expires again - I still have a few 'big' jobs to do onboard.  That means we will be here over Christmas and New Year, something I didn't want to do!

The time onboard is.........
