On board the Star Flyer. We had a very rocky night, on our first night after leaving the European continent. What an introduction to sea travel! A storm was brewing to the north-west of us and we were running along its edge, with deep swells and strong winds. We were rolling around the bed and holding on as best we could as the ship was pitching and rolling through the night. Things not properly secured within the cabin were crashing onto the floor and rolling around, including toilet items on the bathroom sink and a bottle of champagne & bucket which had been provided to us when we first boarded. We survived the night with nothing broken and were even ready for a hardy breakfast the next morning. It should be mentioned that the food for all meals has been delicious and plentiful. Many people, however, were not nearly as enthusiastic about food that morning as we were.
