As I write this, I am swaying like crazy on the MV Explorer. We finally left yesterday, January 20th at 12pm only to come back to Nassau at 6pm for the last 10 voyagers that did not receive their visas. My roommate was one of the 10, so I finally have a roommate! We have been sailing since 8pm last night and it has been rough. It's surprising to me because the trip from Nassau to Dominica doesn't usually have rough waves. One can only predict what's in store for us. A couple of people have already gotten seasick and I hope I'm not the next. The funniest thing to watch while we sway is people working out. They always look like they're going to fall over. Today is an 'A' day, which means I have 1 of my 4 classes today and it's not until 3:45 in the afternoon. Hopefully on future 'A' days I'll be able to read and study on the deck instead of having to hide from the wind and rain. The food is already a little shitty which is never a good sign. Think chef John's meatloaf leftovers made into chili, with a side of overcooked pasta. Let's just say I'll be buying a lot of protein bars and ready to make food in Dominica.
Besides for the visa situation, the bad weather and seas, and the food, I'm having a great time! I'm meeting a lot of interesting people with awesome stories and goals.
Hey! I hope the seas calm down for you and all your new friends! The food can only get better, remember you have plenty of protein powder and bars to share- always good to have:) It's cool here- Dad and I were just thinking of you (again) I'm glad you wrote! Love you- MOM.
