Saturday was the first of two sea days on the cruise, and began in bright sunshine and cloudless skies and the day remained extremely fine throughout, with many passengers on deck.

Azura had plenty of time to get to the revised first destination of Cobh, so the captain decided to hug the Cornish coast as closely as possible, travelling at a leisurely 10 knots. I awoke as we were passing Plymouth, with an RN frigate heading out towards us. This was HMS Cumberland, generally known in the RN, apparently, as the 'Sausage' for obvious reasons. She cruised past close along our port side and we were later buzzed by her Lynx helicopter.
