Well we must be getting near the 45th parallel as the rains have caught up with us! It has been pouring all day, combined with 20knots of wind, low visibility and 10-12foot following seas, it has been a ROUGH day! We set our clocks back an hour at 2400 last night as we crossed into the +7 time zone, so I got somewhere around 10 hours of sleep last night :) .
Today we spent the morning setting up a scaffolding on the forward house for painting...let me tell you, setting up scaffold in the pouring rain with a 20 knot wind is NOT fun! After a delightful lunch we had formation inside and then continued with putting a newly sewn cover on the boat, we ended early and had a clean sweep down of the ship at 1600. Dinner was Cinco de Mayo themed and was delicious! Following dinner I finally got to the gym and attempted to run on the treadmill only to realize that heavy seas are no fun when you are trying to run. Laundry in the dryer as I type and then it's off to bed...a relatively easy day with some good laughs...finally! Enjoying cruise so far, more day work tomorrow!
