Soo.... its 12:05 noon and we are still on the ship--furthermore, we haven't docked yet. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! we were supposed to be here and docked by 7 am. The thing is the winds are so strong and waves are ridiculous, that the captain can't dock. He's the one who does the parking. lol. And apparently the one we were supposed to come in at is very narrow. Then a few hours later they mentioned trying to dock at an alternate port. Womp womp, the winds are too bad out here. If we decided to just do it, who knows what will happen. At the present moment they don't have any updates or know when we'll be able to pull in. We are kinda bouncing and buoying in the ocean lol. The waves look magnificent and have us ricochetting. I've been knocked out but womp womp. I'm supposed to be doing the Robben Island overnighttttttttt!!! i was supposed to leave 10 ammmmmmmm!! Oh the woes of being at sea... we are but dots in the ocean!!

Hi:
ReplyDeleteI'm Anna, SAS Spring 92 alum and friend of your sister Cathleen, currently residing in Seoul. I am so happy that you have this wonderful opportunity!!!
Loving your blog. Can identify with many of your posts, though back then we had no Internet, and calls were about $15 a minute, but only for emergencies as there was only ONE outside line also used for faxes. We would line up at the bridge to send faxes with as much info as possible squeezed in on each page :-)
Anyway, hope that you enjoy the rest of the voyage and stay safe.
Cheers,
Anna
PS: Did you eventually dock in Capetown??
