Tasman Sea


Well for two days we are crossing the Tasman Sea between N. Zed and Aussie land (or the West Island as the Kiwis call it). And while we have nothing we have to do other than relax, it is a bit on the rough side out there. Windy and white caps and sporadic rain. As long as we are heading straight into the waves it is not too bad. But if they start coming at an angle then the boat starts rocking pretty good. It is amazing watching the waiters carrying this fully loaded trays and doing fine while the passengers all look like they are on a three day drunk (It was really rockin and rollin one night and I saw some of the staff stagger a bit too). You get used to it pretty much though. It is the occasional bigger wave at about a 45 degree angle that can really shudder the ship, it feels like an moderate earthquake. We had another formal night which was good, and have enjoyed conversation with many different people.
