Sea Sun Friends Freedom

To hell and then Newcastle

AUSTRALIA | Monday, 23 November 2009 | Views [1119] | Comments [1]

From Jim Stynes, Up at 5am, winds were up but Hugh our captain was sure that by the time we got out of Pittwater things would settle. Well that wasn't to be, with the hour it was 3 meter swells and 30 knot winds. Next thing i am hanging over the edge emptying my vital organs. By the time i finished my wife Sam swapped places except this time she had a harness on just in case we lost her. I have to admit it was a bit romantic in a warped way. So for the next 8 hours it was just survival at all costs, even our captain found himself over the edge less his insides. Nevertheless sea sickness seems to over ride every other problem you might have and thats coming from someone with cancer. On a more positive note it allowed us to stop off without a plan to Newcastle and check out a new port and right now i am into spontaneity.
