Good Bay South Georgia

Like I said yesterday, it’s impossible to be bored on this ship.  We sailed along to Fortune Bay, dropped the anchor not once but three times and it just wouldn’t hold as the wind and sea was so rough.  So back into the open sea again and that’s when things started to really move. We were told the ship would be doing a sharp right hand turn in 5 minutes and that we should secure everything in our suites, hold on to something or sit on the floor!  The drawers all opened, as did the cupboard and G’s sleep machine fell out and glasses slid sideways.   During the nightly briefing at 6.45 glasses and trays flew off the bar in the theatre, the ship was rolling from side to side and it was just incredible.  One elderly man (even more elderly than me) fell and he said he slid from one side of the bar to the other! Then at 7.30 we went to dinner and I wish I’d had my camera as the view from the dining room was something else!  As we went into the wave then came out the swell at the back of the ship was higher than the windows in the dining room. Those waves were between 8 & 10 metres.  So we rolled along finally finding a more sheltered spot in Cooper Bay to spend the night. This morning Zodiac tours are being offered around the bay but with no landings.  These tours are for about 90 minutes - it’s really windy and cold and I doubt I’d be able to take photos, hold on, and battle the elements for that long so will pass!!!!!  Like I did yesterday having a couple of hands of 500 and I made a little mistake and got a decent spray for that.  So there’s spray both inside and outside the ship!!!
