Friday we were sailing from Tromso to Bodo. Around noon the captain came on the ship’s intercom and announced that we would not be going to Bodo. Apparently the wind and waves were going to be too extreme to get into port. In addition he was having to cancel our last port of Lerwick, in the Shetland islands because of the storms we would be encountering.
We had a little rough water late on Friday. Most of Saturday we have been sailing in and out of fjords to avoid the rough seas. We are working our way south and should pass Bergen around midnight.
Currently the waves are around 25 to 30 feet and according to the last announcement by the captain the head winds are from 50 to 70 MPH. We are rocking and rolling, but we are warm and secure on the ship. Bob and I are staying in our cabin for the time being. They think we will be in open water like this until midnight and then hopefully will be able to get into more sheltered areas then.
Have tried to photograph the seas but I can’t go on our balcony for fear of being tossed around and hurt. Believe me it is wild out there.

Sounds downright scary!

It was not scary, just very unsteady walking. Both of us got queasy but took something and we were fine. Today was nice and calm and even sunny.
