Skirmish on the high seas.... Hartley Morris Men
Channel: Lisa Bradley
Date: 2014-07-08

All these videos of the Hartley Morris Men were filmed on P & O's Spirit of Britain.  We had been booked to dance on 4 crossings as part of their Summer Extravaganza.    Unfortunately summer was cancelled that day and the offshore weather was quite extreme !  The captain said it was force 8 at times in the middle of the channel.  

Because there is no horizon in the videos you can't see how rough it was.  You will however notice that the musicians were usually standing with their legs wide apart to stop themselves from lurching !    The dancers did an amazing job of avoiding crashing into each other !!
