Our last day on the Alex-2 and it’s all about tidying and cleaning and packing. No classes today, which makes sense because it’s a Sunday after all!!! But instead of classes we were busy on the ship taking everything out of cupboards and getting them into the red seabags. Today we deep ship clean for the last time. By two all seabags need to be in the mess and cabins need to perfect. Not just clean. Perfect. The final cabin check. If we pass, it’s shore leave and then an early night. Meanwhile the ship is swarming with engineers and familiar faces from previous voyages who are busily rust-busting and preparing the foremast for yard replacement. It’s a busy time!
