Finally, some waves to be excited about

We are now riding 30 ft waves and 45 kt winds here in the Drake Passage. A much better ride than the straight and level we had coming down. Walking is very difficult and going out on the deck is very dangerous and perhaps stupid but fun as all heck. You have to hold on to the railings or the wind will blow you across the deck. There are about 20 of us in the group that adopted Ruthie and I. At the moment there are only 8 soldiers still standing. We are getting mist and spray clear up to the 5th deck. I am trying to get pictures that will show how rough it really is. I'll send them along later.
