Aug. 22

I really don't have much to report today.  We left Edinburgh early in the morning for our flight to Heathrow and then on to Southampton by taxi.  Everything went flawlessly.   Herb was not feeling too well and went to sick bay when they opened after we sailed.  Doc said he has a pinched nerve in his back.  On some new drugs so hopefully by tomorrow he will be like new.  Fortunately we have a quiet day tomorrow.  

The Crown sailed at 5 p.m. - on time.  We head to our first port of call - St. Peter's Port, Guernsey Island.  It is one of the channel islands.  The captain came on over the loudspeaker to let us know we could be in for a rough ride tonight.  So far, we have a little rolling, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Guernsey is a tender port, so we plan to take it easy in the morning and then head ashore after all those on tours leave the ship.  Will post more tomorrow along with some photos.
