Dance our cares away - then by maggiemae

Dance our cares away - then

On the high seas literally! Going through a huge storm and the boat is pounding over the waves. Rolling, shuddering, slamming - you name it! The spray is going higher than deck 8! Not at all pleasant. The only safe place is in bed. I got up to check some breaking sounds in the bathroom and got flung down the small hall and into the door! Fortunately only a few bruises.

Three good things:
1. Line Dance lesson again
2. A super concert of songs from 1940’s 50’s
3. The news that Japan has forbidden use of satellite connection within12 miles of its coast means very little space for the next 6 days. The good thing is -um - still thinking! At this moment its working!
Glad it's only a few bruises.

Looks like a good way to entertain yourselves in the bumpy seas.. Hope it calms down soon...

Oh dear- cruising is serious business even when it comes to internet! Glad you only got bruised but sure do hope the sea calms down soon.

@olivetreeann The sea looks like one of those paintings of a sea in a storm!

@julzmaioro Just been told by the Captian that the wind is gale force at 50 knots and the seas are 6 metres! At least he is still on the bridge and hasn't been thrown off!

We enjoy cruising, even when it is a little rough - nice composition and lighting
May 3rd, 2016  
Not my cup of tea, that's for sure. Hope you have smooth sailing ahead.

@hjbenson "a little rough' Harry! The wind is over 50 knots!

I was enjoying your trip (vicariously) until the raging seas...
May 3rd, 2016  
It looks like a great way to keep your mind off the wicked sea

Love all the motion blur in this. Hope the sea is calmer by now.

wow, I'm kind of having a flashback to the Cabaret Club disco in Beverly Hills in the 70's. The Hustle floor. Gloria Gaynor !

This sounds exciting but a little scary ...Glad that you were only bruised in the storm.
May 3rd, 2016  
Hardy folk these cruisers and the sailors who drive the ships.
May 3rd, 2016  
Glad there were only bruises with your encounter with the storm ! I am sure there would be some fancy steps and moves in your line dancing with the rough seas ! Hope things calm down pretty soon for you !
May 3rd, 2016  
not good about your fall !...hope it settles soon...
May 3rd, 2016  
That does not sound much fun. Glad their were only a few bruises and you'll forget about them when you reach Japan. Looks a happy line dancing bunch
May 3rd, 2016  
Great capture!
May 3rd, 2016  
Oh my I don't like the sound of all that. Pleased you weren't hurt too much. I feel seasick just reading your description, that's what puts me off ever wanting to do a cruise. Hope it settles soon.
May 3rd, 2016  
Please only light bruising, although any fall can shake us up. Hope the wealther calms down soon
May 3rd, 2016  
Hope it calms down soon, I think you should stay in bed until it does!

I'm sure, with practice, everyone will be lifting their left leg and slapping their knee with their right hand TOGETHER, that's if they can hitch their leg while standing on one leg in the first place!

Nice display of motion, enjoy your trip!

How can anyone stay on their feet to dance in those conditions? Glad you are not seriously hurt.
May 4th, 2016  
The only time I experienced rough a rough sea was when I crossed the English Channel. all of my cruises where fairly calm. glad you didn't get hurt too much and hoping for calmer waters for you to enjoy the rest of your cruise.

@bruni I've had some rough seas when we owned a small yacht, Bruni - but I just hid in the cabin and drank scotch!
May 5th, 2016  
It sounds like a horrible and scary storm. Maybe they are used to it on the boat though! Looks like there is plenty to do.
May 5th, 2016  
@kiwichick Actually they did say that they had never gone through a storm like this before, Lesley! Bridge, dancing, music, reading, yup!
May 5th, 2016  
Haha! Know the feeling. Sounds like our day recently when we were sailing around Cape Horn.....
May 5th, 2016  
This does not sound like fun to me and glad you were ok at this point. What an adventure.
