The Tasman
Sea was living up to its reputation. 5 metre swells greeted us as we exited the
Cook Strait.
It did not occur to me to check the pool deck - it would have been quite a sight. Photos of the sea do not really do justice to how rough it was. We all survived of course and I actually rather enjoyed the movement. It was rather bumpy during the night when we were in bed and the stern was landing with a thump as the ship rode the swells.
As a result of having to head south to get around the low pressure system (yes we were not in the thick of it) causing the high seas, we lost time and were delayed arriving into Sydney.
As a result we did not have to get up so early to see us sail into Sydney Harbour and the light was much better.

Home sweet home.
