Drunken sailors

After another warm and sunny day in St Thomas yesterday, we are back to the kind of weather that dogged the cruise last week - coolish,  cloudy, and very windy.  The wind is so high that we have to keep our balcony door locked, otherwise it opens on its own from the pressure.

As a matter of fact, this has been the rockiest cruise we've ever been on.  I don't know why -  whether it's the wind that's making for higher seas than usual; the small ship that doesn't have the kind of stabilizers we've come to expect; the fact that our cabin is practically in the bow it's so far forward; or if the captain is just one seriously bad driver - but we make our way around the ship like drunken sailors.  (To clarify, so do all the other passengers. :-))  It's a good job that the passages outside the cabins are fairly narrow - we can bounce from wall to wall on our way to the elevators.
