to go
Passed half way! We just had champagne and
lemon drizzle cake to celebrate.
Aside from that not much to report. The waves
are even bigger and they are still close packed. Every so often Anastasia
decides to have a surf down a wave, which is quite like being on the log
flume ride at Alton Towers, except the cabin windows deflect the spray so
we don't actually get wet.
Andrea and I have been hearing voices in the
gurgling pipes. My voices are just too low to be audible, but apparently
Andrea's voices keep telling her to add rum to her lemonade.
The water in the starboard tank is salty.
Pretty much every part of Anastasia is being pummeled by waves so I suspect some
is getting in through the tank overflow vent. I was going to pump the tank
out and make some fresh water but apparently people pay good money to go to a
spa for a salt water shower, so we are just going to have longer showers until
it is used up.
