Cruising the Great Australian Bight

Day 1 of 2 days at sea.

And the jiggling continues! Pitching more so than rolling.

Most definitely a rough night. It took me awhile to fall into a deep sleep since the ship was shuddering rather frequently as it plowed head-on into the swells.

In his noon report today, Captain Giulio reported the swells at about 13 feet. That — to us — seemed like an improvement over last night when the surf and sea spray were flying high past our cabin window. My estimate for last night’s swells would be in the 15- to 20-foot range.

I spent the day going through the pile of paperwork that had built up during our recent run of ports. Mui worked a bit on the RV road trip. We have decided not to drive to Perth via Albany, so we’re shifting our route . If the math is correct, we’ll be saving a bundle of miles with this new route. That’s a good thing!

Turns out that there are 582 Oceania Club members on this segment. Too many to fit into the Regatta Lounge. So, tonight was the first of the two loyalty parties they will be having for this cruise. We were in attendance. Afterwards, we went to Toscana to wrap up our evening with a delicious Italian meal.

Captain Giulio is still expecting an improvement in the weather for tomorrow 🤞🏻Okumaya devam et
