Well last nights forecast was certainly spot on. After leaving the almost tranquil port area we were soon in the Atlantic and bobbing around like a cork.
There has been hardly any let up since we left last night, in fact we got very little sleep because of the rocking and rolling of the ship. We both complained of feeling achy this morning which was probably the result of trying to relax but tensing up for the next bout of rolling. It did seem to ease a little just after daylight and it was our first chance to see how the sea conditions looked. The prom deck has been closed since last night and the large swell has prevailed all day. We ventured out of the cabin for breakfast and lunch and although there are people about it is nowhere as near busy at it should be for a sea day.
The sick bags are out all over the place strategically placed in case of emergency. Don’t you just love the Atlantic!
What you can’t see from the photographs is the size of the swell but they will at least give you some idea of what we are experiencing. We are on deck 10 and the spray is coming in our open door and is all over the mirror, our cabin steward Jovel is going to love us.
Apart from what I have already mentioned today there is very little else to tell so I will keep the post short today and hope that when we reach Santa Cruz tomorrow things will have improved somewhat. Here’s for a better night than last night!
