Helga's Cruise Ship Diary

DEAR DIARY - DAY 1

All packed for the cruise ship - all my nicest dresses, swimsuits, short sets. Really, really exciting. Our local Ladies Bowls Club, 'The Late Bloomers' decided on this "all-girls" trip. It will be my first one - and I can't wait!

DEAR DIARY - DAY 2

Entire day at sea, so beautiful. Saw whales and dolphins. Met the Captain today, seems like a very nice man.

DEAR DIARY -  DAY 3

At the pool today. Did some shuffleboard, hit golf balls off  the deck. The Captain invited me to join him at his table for dinner. Felt honored and had a wonderful time. He is very attractive and attentive.

DEAR DIARY - DAY  4

Won $500 in the ship's Casino. The Captain asked me to have dinner with him in his own cabin. Had a scrumptious meal complete with caviar and champagne. He asked me to stay the night, but I declined. Told him I could not be unfaithful to my husband.

DEAR DIARY - DAY 5

Pool again today. Got really sunburned, and I went inside for a drink at the piano-bar and to cool down; stayed there for rest of day. The Captain saw me, bought me several large drinks. He really is quite charming. Again asked me to visit his cabin for the night. Again, I declined. He told me, if I did not let him have his way with me, he would sink the ship… I was shocked.  

DEAR DIARY -  DAY 6

Today I saved 2600 lives.
