Stormy Seas

Despite a stormy night, we slept well. A bit like sleeping in a rocking cradle, I imagine. Awakened once by the sound of glass tinkling. Nothing was broken however. The Captain reported this morning that we were experiencing steady winds of 8 on the Beaufort scale, with gusts to 9. 


By noon, the seas had calmed some, and the sun shone briefly. Walked 5 laps around the promenade deck. Now it is raining steadily again. 


Expect to pass Dover late tonight at the narrowest point of the English Channel. In clear daylight weather one can see the white cliffs. 


Maybe next time.
