Email from the Ship: We are now passing the Rock of Gibraltor at 7:30 am Sun 5-2-04. position 36N 05W. It is cloudy and not so good for picture taking but I took one anyway. They say there are monkeys all over the Rock but they didn't get into the path of my binoculars,There are lots of ships all around. Morroco is on portside and Spain on starboard. Again, I'm told that the waters at Biscay Bay can be quite rough and may slow up our progress to Hamburg-whatever will be will be. Mon. am We are sailing north along the coast of Portugal. The ship is beginning to rock and roll.
5-5-04- What everybody told me has come true.Mon aft and Tues. day and night we were sailing through very rough waters. The ship was rolling and pitching fom heavy swells because of wind and stormy weather. Everything on the ship was on the move if it wasn't fastened down and if I tried to walk anywhere I was on the move too but not always in the direction I wanted to go. AND I didn't get seasick! We will soon be in the English Channel on to Hamburg.
