Day 139 - Not much happening here

Somewhere in the Caribbean (Panama)

After a pretty rough night, we awoke to a rough day of crossing the open sea to get to the San Blas Islands. The sea was choppy and the yacht was moving continually, forward to back, side to side. Doing everything was an effort, especially going to the toilet - everything was kind of OK until you had to concentrate on something, at which point the queasiness would start.

We dragged ourselves outside for a bit of breakfast before heading back to lie down again, then again for lunch. The other Aussie on the trip, Trina was doing it rough and spent the whole crossing (night and day) just lying down outside. We had a window above our cabin, though the dinghy was tied over the top of it. This ended up working well for us as normally it wouldn't be possible to have the window open as water would get in, but the dinghy worked as a canopy and we were able to prop the window part way open to get some fresh air.

It was like this all day, swapping between sitting outside for a while, then going in and lying down for a while. Dinner was a tasty soup, just what we needed given the condition we were all in. We didn't last long after dinner, even though we'd been dozing all day we still managed to get to sleep pretty quickly, perhaps it was the seasickness tablets.
