Catastrophes, wars, terrorism, ecological disasters, deadly diseases, poverty .... The list of tragedies - both personal and public - is endless. Every day and hour media, politicians, experts - and charlatans - bring us a never ending barrage of bad things. No wonder that many people feel depressed and weary. This blog tries - in a modest and personal way - to contribute to a more balanced view. After all, there is so much to appreciate and enjoy in life ...

The Ocean Countess in the Sound
The recently renovated M/S Ocean Countess (163 m - 800 passengers) passed Helsingør/Helsingborg early this morning on its way from Immingham to Copenhagen. The Countess left Copenhagen this evening and should arrive in Helsinki on Wednesday morning.
This is how the tour operator describes this classic cruise ship, with an interesting history:
Following a £3 million pound refurbishment programme, Ocean Countess joined the Cruise & Maritime Voyages fleet in April 2010 under charter from the widely respected and long established Majestic International Cruises Group who also operate the popular Ocean Majesty, well known to the British market. The ship originally entered service as the Cunard Countess and became one of the best-known ships to sail the Caribbean Sea.
