TIME CHANGE
Please be reminded that early this morning the ship's time was ADVANCED
ONE HOUR.
This will be repeated tomorrow and clocks will be ADVANCED ONE HOUR early
on Sunday morning. Please advance your watches again before retiring this
evening Saturday, 12 July.
NAVIGATION INFORMATION
During the morning we will transit the Faraday Fracture Zone which is
part of the undersea volcanic mountain range known as the Mid Atlantic Ridge.
Discovered by coincidence in 1872 by scientists investigating the optimum
route for a trans-Atlantic telegraph cable the Mid Atlantic Ridge forms
a boundary between the North American plate and the Eurasian plate in the
north Atlantic. It then extends from here and separates the African Plate
from the South American plate in the southern Atlantic.
The Faraday fracture zone is only part of this vast undersea ridge and
depths here range from 700 metres before dropping off again to over 4,000
metres once we have travelled over it.
SUNRISE AND SUNSET Sunrise: 5.58am / Sunset: 9.25pm
NAUTICAL FACT OF THE DAY
THE CUT OF YOUR JIB - If someone does not like the 'cut
of your jib' then they may not like your general appearance or demeanour.
The jib of a sailing ship is a triangular sail set between the foretopmast
head and the jib boom. Some ships had more than one jib sail. Each country
had its own style of sail and so the nationality of a sailing ship, and
a sailor's consequential opinion of it, could be determined from the jib.
Showtime Tonight: 'Apassionata' With the
Royal Cunard Singers & Dancers
At 8.45pm & IO.45pm in the Royal Court Theatre 1
A dance extravaganza of exciting styles and cultures of dance from around
the world. From Glenn Miller's Swing to the tantalising Argentinian Tango
this show features some of the most incredible dances ever seen at sea.
Fabulous close harmony vocals of the principle singers combined with
the most glamourous costumes recreate the grandeur of the Hollywood Musical
and international specialist dances.
A great celebration of dance and song not to be missed!
