On Saturday we had our "lasts". Our last our last walk on land (for at least 10 days) our last McDonalds, and our last gelato (for at least 6 months).
We waved good-bye and headed out to sea...
When we left Tenerife on Sunday, we were told that we would be entering into a low pressure system and that we would experience a "rough" ride. We have been at sea now for almost 3 days and today is actually the first day I feel comfortable to work on the computer. We were warned to secure our work areas and cabins and be prepared. The "rough ride" was really wild last night. You know exactly what was and what was not secured. I laid in bed last night listening to crashes, bangs, and thumps for several hours. I jumped up several times only to realize the random noises were not coming from our cabin. One time I did try to get up only to find I chose the wrong timing and was rolled back into bed with my feet over my head. Then as I opened the door Alisia yelled..."Our fridge moved!" So Mike got up, put it back into place and secured it even better.
At our 8:00am Tuesday meeting, we learned that some of the crashing, banging, and thumping came from the galley. They woke this morning to spilled milk, flour, eggs etc. all over the deck. Througout the ship, we saw tipped over file cabinets and chairs.
Joshua's class this morning spent part of the morning cleaning up.
(Thanks Ms. Nichols for the pictures)
I guess you know you go to school on a ship when you have to clean up from a "rocky" night.
All in all, everyone is safe and we are now in calm waters!
