Wow, what a rough night in lower Chatham Strait last night. Seas were 15+ ft. The 408-ft Malaspina was creaking, groaning, pitching, yawing, ugh. My stomach gets queasy all over again just thinking about it. It was hard to believe we were on the Inside Passage!
The Malaspina now has internet access. Despite the 40+ knot wind, horizontal rain and extreme weather conditions, we were able to get online from our cabin! (If we'd been at our house in Gustavus, that surely would not have happened.) Had I been able to read, type or stay focused on anything but remaining not sick and wondering why there are no survival suits on board, I could have blogged.
The ferry stopped for a few hours yesterday in Sitka. We met up with a bunch of our friends for lunch at our favorite sushi place (Little Tokyo). It was great to see everyone, and my friend Karen P. from Thorne Bay was there, too, on one of her many whirlwind trips.
Today, we're on our way to Ketchikan, stopping for a few hours and meeting up with one of my SEAtrails board members for lunch.
