Monday, 11/04/13 Tasman Sea, Day One

Monday, 11/04/13 Tasman Sea, Day One

Day one at sea on the way from Melbourne to New Zealand.  The Tasman Sea is known for its storms, and today is no exception -- gale force winds with seas 26 feet high.  During the night, the ship began jerking violently, and the violent motion continued all day today.  No activity today, not even a lecture.  For lunch, ordered a club sandwich in my room and watched the Sunday football game between Houston and Indianapolis.  Entertainment on the ship was cancelled because violent jerks of the ship made walking impossible and singing and dancing, dangerous.  For dinner, ordered pizza in my room.  For the first time, took sea-sickness medication.  A quiet day, with two more days ahead just like this one.
