Roughing It

Well it's now Wednesday and we've been at sea for 5 days. Those of us who like being out on the wet stuff are very happy that it's been a bit 'choppy' lately. However there are a good few 'lilly livered landlubbers' who aren't so happy. Let's have a moments sympathetic silence for them. (OK enough - don't want to soften them up anymore:-) )

You know there's something very satisfying about sitting in the International Lounge on deck 6 watching the waves break over the bow and then hitting the windows in front of you (for anyone who knows the ship you'll appreciate how high the waves are getting).

Our ETA in Tenerife is still Friday 19th so only 2 more days of fun before the work begins again.

Last night at 8:30 Iona and I (Rob) went onto deck 8 to look at the stars. WOW - millions of them blinking down on us. We didn't stay there long though as the wind was whistling around us and the deck pitching enough to make walking a new art form. It's always humbled me to see how BIG the universe is.
