Now that we are out from the cold, dank costal waters we are gradually finding the rhythm of the daylight hours. But with the sun has come an aggressive starboard beam-on sea. Rogue waves occassionally make rushes for the hatch, barging in unannounced and uninvited. They're obnoxious and horribly cunning. Our porridge took a direct hit yesterday morning. One landed with a self appreciatory flop right in the pan. I was furious. Porridge tasted no worse than usual though.
The nights are a little harder to adapt to. Especially when sleeping. Both of us have witnessed the other yelling out in their sleep. Each time something to the effect of "Where am I! What the hell's going on!" (We often find ourselves yelling that during daylight hours too!). Maybe the subconscious mind taking time to catch up... Still on land as it were. Maybe the night fears John and Casey talked of are still haunting the boat. Who knows...
Lewis & Smith,
