Well, we survived a force 11 severe storm at sea....but boy was it hair raising. I stayed awake till 3:30 am because I was too scared to sleep! The cabin looked like a bomb had gone off in it....nothing had stayed on the shelves. After we went back to the cabin, the ship started rolling as well as pitching. We all agreed that we never ever ever wanted to go through another night like ..........
------------Which is why the news that we were sailing into another hurricane was not well met!! By all accounts this one was a force 12, genuine hurricane.....eeeeeeeeeeep!!
So....... ship has had to make a major detour to avoid the storm.... and instead of sailing to Tromheim, we have come to Rorvik instead and are staying here for the night safely moored up! It means that we will miss out a few stops tomorrow and go straight for Allesund....but to be honest, no one is really complaining because last night was just so horrendous. There was a point, before 3 am that we were doing just 3 knots....it felt like we were just being tossed aorund by the waves.
We had a stop off today in Nesna and I took some pictures from the deck because it was just a short stay.....
after that, we headed to Sandnessjoen which was really really lovely. There we saw the mountain range the Seven Sisters. I took a pic that I am quite proud of....it is really 4 pictures that I have managed to stitch together to make a panoramic view of the mountain range....it is a keeper that is for sure.
We were told about the detour and mooring up safely for the night this afternoon and it was a relief. we are now safely in dock....phewwwwwww.
Little little was very very brave despite falling out of bed a few times. She has asked that, for our next holiday, we take on something less advenurous....like lion taming or something.
Hope you enjoy the pictures. :-)
