Still at Sea

Very smooth crossing on the North Sea. Still some 2 1/2 hours out of Esbjerg. Weather is fine and warm - absolutely as we want it.

Breakfast in the Commodore Lounge is very civilised. Typical hotel buffet fare, but decent quality.

Taking the North Sea route rather than flying to Denmark is clearly the slower option, but if you're not in a hurry then why not? No-service airlines are all well and good in certain circumstances but are never going to offer the same opportunity to decouple from the modern world for a few hours.
