Wednesday we started our 2-day crossing of the Tasman Sea. We had Gale force winds, and 72 degrees. The Captain told us it was too rough to go out on deck and advised us to stay inside the ship. Women were asked to wear low heel shoes and hang on to the rail when we walked around the ship. Quite a few people got motion sick from the big waves (including me) but everything improved the next day when the seas calmed down. |

Friday we entered the Milford Sound for scenic cruising. We had an excellent commentator on the ship. He talked over the PA system and explained the history of the discovery of the sounds. |

We were disappointed that the skies were overcast, but since they get more than 200 inches of rain each year, we were lucky it wasn’t raining. |

Mid-day we were surprised to find out we were going to cruise Doubtful Sound. We were told very few ships can go through this sound because of normally high winds and narrow passage. However, this day was still. I thought it was beautiful. |
