Cruising the GAB on Mui’s B’day

Day 2 of 2 days at sea … GAB being the Great Australian Bight.

Captain Giulio’s expectation that conditions would improve by this morning was for naught. We had another rough night of sailing that continued well into the day. Not bothered by the motion of the ocean, but the pitching has been noticeable … no matter where one is on the ship.

Today’s noon report by the Captain was similar to yesterday … almost verbatim. He gave the swells as 12-14 feet … with 30-knot winds. Outside decks were once again closed.

Late in the day, things seemed to calm down a bit. But at this stage, that won’t make much of a difference to our now-delayed arrival into Adelaide tomorrow. How late will we be docking? That is still TBD. Captain Giulio mentioned between 11:00a and noon earlier today. But … well, we shall see how it all plays out when we get there, won’t we?

For Mui’s birthday dinner we went up to the Polo Grill tonight. Our friend Sasa, who has been promoted to Food and Beverage Manager since sailing with him on Insignia last year, joined us for dinner … and to help Mui blow out the virtual candles on his birthday cake. How many? Well, there is a 6 and an 8 involved. You put them in the right order 🤣Read more
