After sailing out of Avacha Bay, we headed toward the Kuril Island and then sailed across the Sea of Okhotsk toward Otaru, Japan. Here's where the waters got a bit rocky and we had the roughest seas of the entire cruise.
Captain Phillipe was wonderful about keeping everyone informed and the crew even posted detailed weather maps so guests could understand exactly what was in store. Voyage and weather maps were updated daily in the Observation Lounge.
On this particular evening, the boat rocked port to starboard all night long. It was tough to sleep because you'd roll one way, get comfortable and then the ship would pitch and you'd roll the other way! It was so turbulent that I actually got out of bed to secure all the stemware that was rattling around in our bar setup!
Luckily this only lasted for a little while and the next day was smooth sailing once again!
