A
storm is a-comin’! If you weren’t
seasick yet, you became seasick today. I
noticed that the boat was rocking extra heavily as soon as I woke up and tried
to brush my teeth – and missed. Many
others fell in the shower, tripped, or had other mishaps, and we all walk like drunkards. Apparently, this is calm for the North
Atlantic, and the ocean is expected to be even worse on our way from Cape Town
to Argentina. And the ship is only going
about 12 knots, a fraction of its max speed.
It is suddenly very cold outside. No one is dining on the balcony anymore. Sweatshirts have sold out in the gift shop. Whale sightings reported; if anyone says “whale,” the entire room jumps to the windows yelling “WHERE?!” Some slump back to their seats disappointed, while others are convinced they saw a water spout. There are rumors that flying fish are in our future.
