We are on day 5 of 6 at sea between South Africa and Mauritius. This stretch of the journey has been rough though. The water’s been pretty rough and the boat is rocking all over the place. The captain has pulled us off course a couple of times to bring us in closer to land where the water is a bit calmer. Lying in bed at night all of a sudden it feels like the bed drops out from under you, and then you hear big crashes and things slamming around. Walking around the ship is an adventure in itself. You walk down the hall, the boat shifts, and everyone slams into the wall. I’ve got bruises from walking into things! And the rocking has added a whole new element to the step aerobics class I’m taking. We all keep missing the steps, and it’s all we can do not to fall off them.
On top of the rocking of the boat, the work load has been intense this week. Everyone’s had multiple exams and papers due in the past couple of days. So we are all more than ready to get off this ship and enjoy some adventures on solid ground.
