Ya, I am really surprised that Michelle did not get sea sick on the ferry ride up to Lerwick. Apparently on the calmest of days it can still be a little rocky and to make things even funner (real word – look it up) we were stationed at the bow (front for those land lubbers out there and that pretty much exhausts my nautical vocabulary) where the bobbing of the ship is felt the most by those she carries. And that was where Michelle was sleeping when the Hrossey (the name of the ferry) hit a particularly forceful wave that rocked the ship so much, it quite literally fell so fast that Michelle was left up above the floor for a moment or two before gravity took over and shocked her awake when she rudely reconnected with the thinly carpeted floor. I know Michelle already talked about this in the last post, but I thought that it was worth another mention.
In this video, you might be able to hear a few rumbles. Well, in reality, they were waves crashing against the ship so hard that the entire structure shook and vibrated. It was like a crazy-ass roller coaster ride at Canada’s Wonderland that just wouldn’t stop!
In just over a week, we will be on it again. Cross your fingers that another storm comes our way!!
