At midnight last night Wilson was woken by New Year's celebration fireworks; this morning he was disappointed to learn that Holiday Inn does not operate the same 'A Great Night's Sleep — Guaranteed' policy as Premier Inn so he was unable to claim his (or strictly speaking, my) money back.
Despite his broken night, he ate an extremely hearty breakfast, saying, 'I advise you to do the same, New Dad — a full stomach will protect you against seasickness!' and then we set off to the docks.
When he first saw our ship, its hugeness came as a revelation to Wilson. He said he'd been expecting something about the size of the Jersey Ferry, whereas this was, as he put it, bigger than a very, very big block of flats!
