600 nautical miles
due east of Tasmania
The Commodore has
announced the details of what we already knew – we are in a storm.
In this case, we are
being influenced by 2 storms – depressions – and the waves which are now 5 m –
about 15 feet – are expected to increase during the day, throughout the evening,
only abating some time tomorrow morning.
The physicists reading this will be able to explain the momentary feeling
of weightlessness which occurs when we seem to ride a wave. It’s eerie and very exciting.
When the Commodore
says to be aware of objects in the stateroom which might be “unstable”, such as
the vases of my birthday flowers, and to use hand rails, it is really time to “batten
down the hatches”. I feel sorry for anyone
in this storm on any ship other than QUEEN MARY 2.
UPDATE: 20:00 hours
local time 09:00 in Berlin)
The weather is
described as “rough” with waves of 6-7 meters, 18-20 feet and we barely feel
it. Love this ship!
