Day 37 - Feb 27

As the captain expected, the ship was rocking and rolling last night. A big storm hit the ship really hard. We could hear water running as the boat swept back and forth. We were woken up several times as waves hit the boat. It was the worse experience at sea we ever had. In the morning, we decided not to go up to the Marketplace at Deck 12 for breakfast. Instead, we went down to the Bistro at Deck 6 in midship to eat something. We felt a little bit better at Deck 6. 

As we approached Doubtful Sound and Dusky Sound in the morning, the weather turned for worse. The Serenity skipped both sounds (a narrow water passage between land) and went directly to Milford Sound in hope that the weather would be better. At 1:30 pm, the park ranger was on board and gave a presentation on Milford Sound. In the afternoon, the sea started to calm down and the rain stopped. At the end of the scenic cruising, even the sun tried to break out. Milford Sound was beautiful. Water was rushing down on both side of the sound. We never saw so many waterfalls in one place. That is definitely one of the highlights in this trip.
