It's Sunday morning so there was no standard 'wake up call' at 7.30am. But for a few of us we were expecting an early morning trip out to visit the trawlers again, but the fierce weather has put paid to that. We kept with the trawlers, Ocean Star and Ocean Crest, overnight, but they too have stopped fishing in this weather and steamed off for shelter. That means we got a lie-in (for what it's worth when the ship is moving about so much!).

The normal Sunday rush to the laundry has also been curtailed, as we can't use the machines in the rough weather. Sarah's quite smug that she got up early enough to get her washing done now.

The dolphin-spotting is carrying on, from the safety and comfort of inside the bridge. Conditions make it hard to see but the few dolphins that come very close to the ship show off jumping through the waves.

I'm hoping we reach shelter quite soon. Not only for the sake of my stomach, but for everyone else's too. Sarah, Niall and I rashly volunteered to cook Sunday dinner for the crew. I'd rather try and do that when the ship's a bit more stable. My culinary skills are tested enough when the floor and walls are stationary...
