With the horrific motion and noise onboard, sleep is illusive. I’ve been on deck twice to alter course and the seascape under the moonlight is awe inspiring. The waves marching at us are mountainous. Occasionally, one climbs aboard and completely covers us in white water which spills over the cabin and into the scuppers as well as any possible way into the cabin. Whenever we’re lifted up on a big wave, one of the water cans on deck smacks with a loud hollow thud that resonates throughout the boat making sure I don’t sleep.
I’ve just made another cup of tea. My fingers are very cold and the warmth of the tea mug is very welcome. I must just hang on for two more days and we’ll be in the Straits.
We’ve been lucky so far with the weather – this is only 20-25 knots. I’ll be glad when the break of day comes. Till then, I’ll drink my tea and hang on.
Hi Glenn and Marylou
So relieved to be back on blog and that all is going to plan (somewhat!!).
Safe Journey (what’s left of it).
Cheers from The Dolman’s Downunder.
