Last night the boat rocked like crazy ( so i am told, I actually slept all the way though it until i needed to take a piss, then i noticed it) I actually got up to silence at about 6am this morning (normally the engines are on all the time) I went to take a piss, and when i hit the flush button there was a really loud sound, sort of like when you hit the flush on a airplane toilet, which was strange cause ferry toilets dont make that noise. The noise got heaps louder and i thought shit, ive sunk the ship. Turns out they just lowered the anchor at exactly the same time i hit the flush. What a coincidence. Anyway the reason they dropped the anchor in the middle of nowhere turned out to be that the seas were too rough.
I got up just in time for lunch again after which I headed up on the deck to check out the views. The sea was still pretty rough, rough enough to send a spray of ocean water equivelent to about 3 buckets of sea water all over me and my only pair of dry pants (as you can see, my burnt cords finally gave way earlier that day). I retired to my cabin, put my pants on the heater, lay on my bunk and watched a Chaser on my ipod. (classic stuff, it was the episode where the crazy ware house guy goes to church)
I then borrowed Pils' Lappy and started selecting some photos and knocking up my blog. And thats about it for now.
Well that was it for yesterday, got back to Santiago this morning and since then Pils and Scratcher have been arranging a bit of a snowboarding trip for the next few days which promises to be a heap of fun.
