Storm at Sea

Today we are sailing off the tip of the Kamchatka peninsula with rough seas, heavy rain and winds 30 to 35 kn. The ship is rolling about 1° to the port and about 2 to 2 1/2° to starboard with about a 15 second period. The temperature is about 53°, and we’re staying inside in a lovely, warm, dry stateroom. We went up to the Star Theater at 2:30 pm to hear a concert by the classical musicians onboard. But the storm seems a bit stronger, and the ship is rocking more. Just as a safety measure, Glenda is lying in her bed reading and I’m staying seated in a chair. Walking down the passageway is a bit of a challenge, and people are actually bumping into one another. It’s a good day to stay inside and read.Læs mere
