30 August 2010 - rocking and rolling!

Not much to say today.
The promised waves arrived overnight. Didn't have a good night's sleep as I was woken quite a few times when the ship banged into a wave - each time it sounded like we'd hit a rock and the whole ship shook. The rest of the time it was rocking and rolling like crazy.
The waves were still like that right through to this evening - I've lived on Travacalm tablets today! Funny thing is, the ones that are meant to contain caffeine to help you *not* succumb to the 'drowsiness' side-effects make me go to sleep, but the ones without the caffeine don't have that effect on me.
I didn't have much for breakfast or lunch, but we managed to get to dinner - which was good, as four of our table-mates are leaving us tomorrow in Auckland.
Not much more to say; the captain promises that we'll soon be sheltered from these waves by the NZ coast, so hopefully he's right and I'll be able to get some sleep!
