I always try to walk at least 7 laps or 2 miles around deck 3 on sea days. I enjoy seeing what's out at sea, if anything, looking at shore when it's close by or just watching the waves as I walk. Today was a challenge since we are experiencing 12 to 15 foot waves! As I'd pass around the bow of the ship, I would be almost weightless as the ship rose high in the air, then barely able to stand when it crashed down again. The ship is bobbing up and down rather than back and forth. I had to stop and brace myself a couple of times when we hit an extra high wave. There was salt covering one side of the forward deck, with some spray coming into my face in that area. I could feel every muscle in my legs working to keep walking and in balance. I have a feeling this is an example of what we have coming up. The Atlantic crossing should be interesting. It sure was exhilarating today!
