Today started rocking hard about 1 am when I was thrown from my top bunk. Apparently I had curled up in the fetal position to facilitate moving less and then my sheet decided to slip with me. Our rocking is apparently the result of a tropical storm and depression to our south. We've had a few good rocks around 30 deg which is pretty steep bu the killer is the consistent rocks between the teens and 20 deg. It makes everything you do in every day life that much more difficult. Tomorrow's and the next day's forecast doesn't look much more promising and CTD and over the side ops have been through periods of suspension depending on the size of swell we're getting. With all the rocking and rolling today we were treated with a pretty good sunset and a rainbow. Looks like the next little bit may be rough seas...
Handles around the bathroom facilitate showers at acute angles.
This puppy was peaking out around 25-30 today which was briefly exciting and then just plain annoying.
Rainbow.
Unknown shark out from our ship circling today (about 10 ft long)
No more clear skies as we approach the north end of the two weather systems to our south.
Sunset with good clouds.
