Mar 20-22 Sea Days


Sam has been on the ship since leaving Antigua. The captain is taking the ship to New York. Sam is sailing in the Atlantic Ocean. Yesterday was a rough day. The captain had to sail around a storm (there was thunder and lightning!!). Last night was the worst since Sam left Los Angeles. The ship was rocking, rolling, things fell off the counter, and the wind was blowing. Today the captain reported that he was dealing with 60+ mph.  winds and 20 foot waves during the night!!  It is better today but the ship is still rocking. Waves look to be about 10-12 foot high. The sun is trying to break through the clouds.
In the morning the ship will be sailing into New York. Sam wants to be out of bed early enough to see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. He is not sure if he will have time to see anything while he is in New York.
