Living in London

We are leaving St Petersburg today. A tugboat towed us through a narrow channel to the open Baltic Sea, and we are now rockin' and rollin'. We are experiencing 50 - 60 mile per hour winds as we travel in a boat that is as long as a football field and stands 9 stories tall above the water. Fortunately, the ship is equipped w/ stabilizers that dampen the effect of the effect of the rough water.

Even so, the motion of the sea is very pronounced, and Linda is definitely sick of hearing Heather say, over and over again, "it's not rough enough, we need open ocean."
