As you may have gathered from the sudden spate of postings, I don't have much to do at the moment now that I don't have to look vaguely scientifically important 12 hours a day. Good thing too, because this ship is rocking. I've definitely got my sea legs on though, and I'm actually quite enjoying it now. It does get a little tiring, but on the plus side its nice to be rocked around while lying in the sauna or watching a movie.
I think these pictures are slightly better than my last attempts to capture the rough weather (at the moment there are 70km/h winds and a little over 4m swell). Anyway, I give up after these. This first one was taken from the bridge, which is four floors or so above the deck. It wasn't raining when I took this shot.

Taken from the movie room, on deck level, the blue colour in this wave reminds me of the icebergs I used to see in Newfoundland round this time of year.

The waves radiating out from the ship clash with the waves coming in from the sea, creating quite a nice effect. Earlier in the day when the sun was shining it was creating mini rainbows in the mist. Didn't have my camera though.

Finally, after I got the first mate to use the windscreen wipers, I took this sequence:
