Sail from France-Portugal
The bay or Biscay, also known as the bay of Pukay. I have not been seasick but a lot of people did on this sail. The swells were really big and the ship was taking on a lot of water. At one point a wave washed over the whole deck! Luckily I was below deck! But for night watches everyone had to wear a harness to avoid people falling overboard. And I fell out of my bunk because the ship moved back an forth so much A lot of people couldn’t sleep during the night because dished were always moving around and some of them broke! During this sail a lot of people energy levels were down because not a lot of people felt very well, we were all tired and just wanted to see land. Everyone also just wants to sleep when the ship is rocking. A lot of the time when were at sea a lot of people will fall asleep during class because we get anywhere between 4-6 hours of sleep a night and because when were in class, the lights aren’t that bright, you’re sitting on a comfy couch type thing and the ship is gently rocking back and forth. It’s just a recipe for relaxation! But not this time around. Books were flying off the tables and people were always running up on deck because they needed to puke. It was definitely the hardest sail to get through, but I hope its gonna make the next one easier for everyone! I’m just glad that I haven’t puked!
Just incase you were wondering, we have these things near the side of the ship which we call the puke funnels, it was one of the most popular places of congregations this sail!
But I’m doing well!
