It’s mid-morning on this day at sea as we cruise from Dutch Harbor in the Aleutians to Kodiak, Alaska.
I should actually say as we jiggle and shimmy our way to Kodiak as today we are experiencing the roughest seas of our thus far 202 days on Insignia on this voyage. The sea state looks to be 12-15 feet or more to me. We’ll see what Captain Maro has to say in his noon update.
Oddly, the bangs and clangs that usually reverberate through the hull as the ship slaps back down after being lifted by the waves are missing … at least at our location near the stern of the ship. Many will more than likely disagree, but that to me is a sign that Insignia is handling the conditions well … despite the pitching we are experiencing.
Not crazy enough to go out on the veranda, so both videos are from inside the cabin … the bow view is from the TV.
With all this jiggling, I wonder if Mui’s staying between the lines in his art class 🤭Read more
TravelerGreat idea to capture this footage. I am going to also!
TravelerI'm good with riding the nose of the dolphin, even with the slaps and bangs. It's the shimmy that gets me every time. Hope Mui was able to work with the jiggling.

Windy app says about 10 ft for wave height but , I agree, some of the swells look at least 15.
Two to Travel Happily, the captain’s noon report bore out my estimate.
