Until now we have had quiet seas on the Volendam, but we had storms overnight and the swell has been increasing and is now hitting the ship sideways, causing banging and making the ship roll in spite of the stabilisers.
We attended two presentations today. The astronomer gave a talk on the solar system which included the latest about exploration voyages. The moons of Jupiter and Saturn are of great interest to scientists.
The evening concert was an entertaining session by Heather Sullivan, a pianist and singer who was a fan of Carole King and proved herself to be just as talented. She paid tribute to many artists but is particularly impressed by Alicia Keyes.
Half way through the concert water started pouring down on the port side of the theatre and people near us had to move. Heather had to regain people's attention before she could continue. At the finish the crew came in with a big vacuum cleaner to sop up the water.
