3-13: Last night we were in really rough seas with 50 knot winds! Actually all day but for most of the day the seas were following as was the wind. Then about 9 we had to turn west and the seas and the wind were hitting us broadside! WOW! We were still at dinner when all kinds of things - glasses silverware serving dishes went flying off of all the serving stations! It was a huge crash! All of us who were still in the dining room just sat in amazement! Wild. Ginnie and I came down to our room and some stuff was not were it had been - we stowed everything away as well as possible - it was rocky. There was one more BIG movement of the ship but we had things pretty well put away by then. The Captain came on the speakers twice - the last time at 11:15 to tell people to be very careful that he had gotten reports that people had been hurt. He was having the stewards check all of the rooms - so Rolando came by about 10 minutes later. Then we could finally go to sleep but Ginnie, whose bed is not by the wall, had a hard time staying in bed! I did reach my hand out a couple of times to keep myself from going face first into the wall! The seas are much calmer this morning thank heavens. We are a couple of hours late into Hong Kong because the Shanghai port was closed due to fog when we were trying to leave and we left 4 hours late. But the weather is still bleak - we want sunshine!
