The first few days of the sail have been interesting to say the least! Because this ship was previously a ferry ship, it's apparently not one of the smoothest sailing ships. This means alot, yes alot, of rocking with dishes sliding across the table, curtains swaying, chairs being tipped over, and people randomly walking into walls. Oh, and I forgot to include the vomitting (thankfully I've been spared from that), and anything that wasn't secured for sailing, was slidding, falling, or being knocked over. Today has been much smoother sailing, literally, and we got to see whales and quite a few dolphins (although I haven't captured pictures yet, not close enough). It's beautiful!!
Last view of land
Some of the nurses hanging out on the deck at the beginning of the sail.
Waves/swells becoming larger.
Because the waters were more calm today it was the first day were able to be out on the bow. Yesturday the waves were hitting the front windows by the bow (dinning area).Beautiful sunsets!
This week we are being orientated to the hospital/surgeries/ward policies, charting, etc. If anyone is interested in the exact work I will be doing, check out the website link the ship is using for my orientation...posted on the right.
Evenings are usually free, so tonight was workout night...bring on the abs/core workout videos! Here we are pumped to start!
