September 3: At Sea

Today we're at sea so this will probably be a short post. The pullout bed that I'm sleeping on is really wreaking havoc on my back. First of all, it's not completely flat, there is a bar that sticks up into my lower back and then there's a hole where my feet are. Secondly the cushion is only about two to three inches thick so then I can really feel the bar in my back and the sea has been pretty rough, especially last night, which compounded the thin mattress problem. It's a good thing Julie Hata Ching didn't come on this trip, she definitely would have gotten seasick.
