Sea Day 11

Ditto to yesterday more or less. It has gotten a few degrees warmer and the swells are according to the captain 16 to 20 feet. So the swells are a bit smaller and the angle of approach has changed so it is not quite so violent a ride. The difference from yesterday to today is subtle.

We lost an hour last night. We lose another hour tonight. Tomorrow I think the captain expects to be a repeat of today. Again. I am suffering some kind of motion fatigue. Then we reach Kangaroo Island, our next port, where we have to ride a tender to reach land for a few hours.

We did book the 28-day Vancouver to Miami cruise this September before dinner last night. Final payment is due within 2 weeks, so after this cruise ends, but before we get home. Last night Clay finally broke his Maurice Lacroix watch. His has never been right since we bought them. After sending it back to the factory at least 3 times for repairs and it never being made right, he gave up and just struggled with it. Last night trying to change the time, was the end and he broke the stem off. So that is it. He is borrowing one of Mom's gift watches for now. Sorry Mom. He says he is wearing the bad smell off it, so you may not be getting some of the watches I got for you! Just as well, right.

We went to the afternoon popcorn movie of Allied. It was not a happy film. Of course, neither was yesterday's Rabbit Proof Fence.

Well, nothing else new. We will go to diner in GDR and come back and move the clocks and go to bed and hope for a better day tomorrow. The end is in sight in any event. I think we are ready to begin phase 3 of this Down Under Adventure and some more independent land-based travel.
