Rough Seas in Great Australian Bight

First day sailing started well,  then.....

Our first day started with a 45 minute walk around deck 7 then breakfast in our cabin before a soak in the back pool. However after about 30 mins in the pool the weather became cooler and windy, short cutting my swim/soak. 

By late morning the seas turned choppy and the skies became grey. 



The day before we were due to arrive in Bussleton, we were informed our scheduled port visit was cancelled due to unsafe sea conditions. Bummer, we had to cancel our Avis rental and missed out on seeing some lovely coastline and a visit to a local winery or two.


Our cabin is towards the front of the ship and it was the first time our beds 'lifted' when we were in bed when the ship sailed through some high waves, some more than 8 metres or maybe more. The ship shuddered constantly over a 24 hour period. 

We still managed not to miss anything on board, but hey, hopping across the cabin floor whilst dressing was tricky.
