Bon Voyage to me

[Highway Man]

No posting on sea days? Get your personal butler to get you the ships WiFi password.

I had a quiet night last night in mourning so didn’t post much however here is our current position on the ships map.

 

[Highway Man]

Position at sea lice update for you all.

 

[Highway Man]

Better live update. Clearer for you all with bad eye sight through cataract issues.

 

[Mottie]

Biscay coming up. Get ready to board those lifeboats.

 

[Highway Man]

It is nice and lucky for you all that I am in a suite as we have the best WiFi at sea.

Biscay coming up. Get ready to board those lifeboats.

It is the roughest I have ever been on a cruise. Lena is terrified and we are approaching Biscay. Absolutely getting thrown about at the moment with 5 metre swells where we are now.

Outside of our window.

 

[Mottie]

Not Biscay but once when we were coming back from a Fjords trip, I can only describe it as being in a rather large washing machine - the sea as far as I could see was all foaming! At one point I thought we had hit another ship, such was the noise and the jolt but it was just a massive wave that hit the ship. I wanted to go out on the balcony go get a proper feel of it but was blocked by Mrs Mottie.

We were going to do a salsa and Tango demonstration today for the other passengers but I don’t think we will be doing that today. But we have still 14 days to go so we will just reschedule

Biscay coming up. Get ready to board those lifeboats.

I thought the best place to be - in all but the most catastrophic event - was on the boat (it being designed to be "the lifeboat" itself).

?

 

[Highway Man]

Lucky that I am a true warrior and fearless. Just been down for breakfast and all normal passengers screaming even the staff. To me this is nothing but I do admit it is as rough as I have ever seen OMG

I am taking the visibility as moderate to good as a positive.

Congratulations though. You are now an accomplished sailor having crossed one of the most challenging offshore stretches this side of the Indian Ocean
