Captain’s log, Saturday 16th August 2008

Unfortunately this day isn’t quite as nice as other days.
We should have guessed the weather was going to be bad when sick bags started to appear all around the ships.

There is a force 10 wind (according to Sir Francis Beaufort’s scale this means winds of 60 mph on average - there’s only 2 steps left in his scale, and the last one is hurricane) across the ship and waves of 18-27 feet. Even in a ship this size you notice that.
So, to some of the obvious disadvantages of this weather for the guest on board:

  • table tennis becomes hard to play as you don’t know what the angle of the table will be.
  • The jaccuzi doesn’t have much water in it, although on the plus side you don’t have to get up to get in the pool as its mostly on the floor.
  • You have to be careful where you walk for fear of slipping in someone’s lunch, made available for the second time.
