Dependents Cruise

Nick's ship had a dependents cruise on Martin Luther King Day.  We invited the Morrison family as our guests. The weather seemed to be ok at first, but by the time we got to where they wanted to anchor, the winds were 30 mph & seas were 4 ft. The wind was so bad the anchor wouldn't even hold. While we were sitting still trying to anchor, the boat was rolling around, making several of the guests sick, including little Howie. Back in the harbor, they tried to tie off to a bouy but were foiled again. So it was back to the pier,  much to the relief of the seasick passengers. Almost everybody skipped out on the barbecue, including us to get our sick little man home. Oh well, we'll try again next time, hopefully with fairer seas.
