Sailing to Hawaii

We set sail for Hawaii on Saturday, Feb. 23rd a little after 4 from our berth in San Pedro. There are 19 in our group. Toni and Jim have the Grand Suite and Toni's Mom and sister, a suite and Robert and Melanie the last suite so we have access to the complete rear of the ship. It is a beautiful place to be as we took off. The channel
was beautiful being escorted by two police boats and many sailboats sailing in and around us.When we got out in the open ocean the wind picked up and later in the evening after we sailed by San Clemente Island the waves were about 20 to 25 feet so the ship was bouncing around. Unfortunately some of the group got very seasick, but we did not. The rough water continued through the day on Sunday and then the waves started getting smaller. We enjoy our days on the ship tab sea. On Sunday evening the captain came on asking for someone with A+ or negative blood for a passenger. Then on Monday evening, the captain came back on and told us it had been reported that someone was in the water. The ship stopped and everyone was sent back to their rooms to stay until you were told that you could leave. The room stewards checked to be sure that everyone could be accounted for. It took almost two hours to be sure all passengers were accounted for. It threw off the reserved dining and shows,but fortunately everyone was accounted for and the evening activities went on. The air and water are now warm and you can feel Hawaii coming up over the horizon. We will be in Honolulu tomorrow and start our tour around the island.
