Can you see the ship? Neither can I. It's big and white and less than a mile away. This was during one of yesterday's squalls.The weather decided to give us a turn yesterday and we spent most of our above water time bouncing around in a little orange boat. It seemed a reminder that it can't be all fun and games. But once getting in the water, it wasn't too bad. By the afternoon we had found a lee and although everything around us was still foreboding, we didn't quite feel like Tiggers. Squalls continued and at one point I heard the ship come over the radio and mention that we were about to get hit by one. I didn't think much about this until looking left and seeing a wall of rain approaching across the water. One other small boats tried to outrun it unsuccessfully but we had divers in the water and had no choice but to wait for a good rinse down. It was quite impressive to watch its' approach. Today the winds have died down again and hopefully it won't be quite as bumpy.
I hope things are quite as cold and snowy for you as what I've been hearing about.
Take care and keep warm,
Cristi
