Our Last Day at Sea (April 02)

  Originally we were to run into 12-15 foot waves early on April 01 and then buck them all the way to San Diego. Thankfully we only experienced a slow increase in motion during the day, but by evening the pitching and rolling were significantly more pronounced. The motions were substantial enough to make sleep difficult that night.

  This morning we awoke to a temperature of 58 that crept into the mid-60's. The seas were about 15 feet, but had backed to an angle that enabled the ship's stabilizers to reduce the pitching and rolling. The skies were blue with bright sunshine.

  The allure of being on deck was sufficiently distracting to delay getting our bags packed. They are now out in the corridor for pick up while we sleep. They will be waiting for us ashore to drag through US Customs.
