When I came into the little office here which is just behind the bridge, the whole place was a mess. Everything that was on the shelf is now on the floor. I thought.. My god pirates have boarded and trashed the place. Just kidding! But it did look like someone had come in and trashed it.

So after cleaning up the office and using some rope to tie everything down, I headed to the “poop deck” which is the deck below the helicopter deck. From there the waves are towering over you and the deck is getting soaked by the waves. It’s like being on a roller coaster 24 hours a day. I also helped out Charles in the galley. It’s incredible to watch someone cooking while the ship is rolling around. He never spills a thing. I have trouble just standing upright and he’s cooking over a stove.

It’s amazing how the crew seem to be able to go about their daily tasks as normal. They walk around the deck as normal and then there’s me stumbling around as if I’m drunk. I’m told by Alain, our deck hand that It’s because I haven’t paid my ‘Gravity Bill’. Once this ‘once of payment’ is made (to him) I’m told that my balance will be restored. I looked at him, we laughed and I walked off.
