And that's just on the pool deck!
I talked to one of the officers who said we are listing to starboard a few degrees due to the lateral wind forces, and we're being forced onto a course heading less favorable than they would like, due to those winds. At least the seas are relatively flat.
We're coming around the left side of the map into the Yellow Sea and hoping we will be sheltered a bit by islands at the bottom of Korea.
Gadzooks!
More later - it's 3 hours later and here's what we see outside:
The pools have safety netting and were drained dry
Winds are still strong but the seas aren't too bad and the sky is clearing a bit. The coat hangers aren't knocking on the closet wall, and the balcony door has stopped moaning.
A few waves are breaking and splashing up on our balcony (and we are 5 decks up from water level) but otherwise conditions are improving. Yay!

Holy moley, Mike! Anyone puking over the rails? Hang on tight and hold Laurie's hand please until you make land. Can't wait to hear more about your high sea adventures.
