Last night the first disaster happened.. Everyone was woken up around 2 am by a loud bang, followed by the sound of glass shattering. The night was already quite wild, high waves and people were bouncing on their beds trying to fall asleep. But one wave was too much for our fridge-door...
Unfortunately in the afternoon waves started getting higher and shaking our ship in such a way Secchi disk measurements got quite complicated: one moment your disk is two meter below water, and immediately after your disk is flying in the air or hiding below the ship.
What is to say about a cruise day that only starts with embarking on 15.00 PM local time (14.00 UTC) and consists mostly of cruising to the first point of interest?
