It was a pretty wild ride last night. Dale and I both took anti-seasick medicine and slept OK. The best way I’ve found to ride rough seas is to stay in bed! The rockin’ and rollin’ is much easier to take lying down, and you can’t lose your balance although I guess you could get thrown out of bed, but that would be really rough seas!
So, with our new itinerary, we will not go to the Isle of Pines (also in New Caledonia) but will have two back-to-back sea days as we head straight to The Bay of Islands in New Zealand to avoid 30 foot seas and hope for just 15 foot seas…
We will get there one day ahead of our previous itinerary and they are looking to add another stop between the Bay of Islands and Auckland. The good news is the weather is much better down there and we will finally have cooler temps and sunshine. We are very much looking forward to that! Only four more days until we got off the ship and check into our hotel in Auckland.
Ronald Glander - In the Navy we put our Boon-dockers (boots) under the mattress on the outside edges so we wouldn’t fall out of our bunks in rough seas. On tip – don’t put them to close to your pillow, for obvious reasons.
Too bad about the crummy weather, but they say “a bad day at sea is better than a good day at work”…don’t ask me who “they” are.
Be safe and have fun.
