Sailing the Tasman Sea


It takes two days to sail the Tasman Sea between Australia and New Zealand, and typically the seas are high.  The first night did have significant swells, with considerable rocking and I took a Dramamine just to be sure, but by the second day, the seas were calm and I didn’t continue with the Dramamine.  We passed the Radiance of the Sea, which had left port before us, and planned to reach Milford Sound tomorrow morning before her.

We enjoyed the onboard amenities including the informational session on our ports of call, the latest Spiderman movie, and a comedian/Magic show in the evening. Plus enough laps around ship to hit my second 10,000+ steps day—these steps are essential given the excellent food! Plus Doc Berenson tasked me with walking six miles a day while onboard.  So far, so good.

 After the comedy show, I returned to our stateroom, because it was day’s end for me and time to settle in with a book—Day’s end even though it was still bright, almost like afternoon sun!  Eventually, toward 9:30 pm, we had a sunset:
