Wow, did we have some excitement crossing the Tasman Sea. The weather deteriorated soon after we left Dunedin. It was so bad that we couldn't cruise through the fiords, which we were supposed to do on Saturday. The winds were gale force, and we had swells to 38 feet!!!! It was unbelievable, so dramatic! We talked to a lot of veteran cruisers, and most said they'd never experienced conditions like that. An especially strong wave hit while we were eating breakfast, and everything went flying. During the storm, passengers weren't allowed out on the open decks because it was too dangerous. The rough conditions continued for about two and a half days before calming late yesterday. Whew! We made it!
