Holy shit can’t believe this crossing is finally about to be over with! This month has been so long, and too many feelings and emotions on how it’s been 😅 fun/ horrible/ frustrating/ amazing ... yeah I could go on forever lol. No for real tho, this trip has been 90% good but as always spending a month in pretty much what I’d call quarantine with 20 or so people working/living right next to each other 24/7, it can definitely be difficult from time to time. But we’re two (!!!) days from the Maldives and I’m so excited I could cry. How many times I remember saying how badly I wanna go to places like the Maldives and Bora Bora. Here I am on a boat that I’m paying nothing for but people actually paying me to go to the Maldives. How freaking amazing is that??

I haven’t posted too much during the crossing, everyday has been pretty much the same work wise, I can’t sweat enough how amazing all the animals we have spotted on the way are. But yeah that’s about it lol, bad ass storms that messed up pretty much the whole boat and kept us on “lock-in” for two days when it was too dangerous being out on deck. And of course let’s not forget the “crossing the line” ceremony two days ago 😒

How gross it even was, I’m kinda ish (almost) happy I went through with it. It’s a once in a lifetime experience and a tradition is a tradition. It honestly wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, but I’m just grateful my coworkers was nice enough to only pose with the bananas instead of crushing them on my head or something even worse 😅

We left capetown early yesterday morning, didn’t really mind considering we weren’t allowed to get off the boat at all. And to be honest, I’m way too excited about the Maldives that I can’t be bothered with anything right now. This crossing is way calmer and all the animals we’ve already seen, I’m speechless. This is such an experience seeing humpback whales jump right next to the boat, I don’t think a lot of people can actually say that they have experienced anything like it!
Have I ever mentioned that I love my job ? 😅😅

7 meter swells .. probably even bigger than that, now that’s hard to sleep through when u almost fall out of the bed every 5 minutes (dangerous having the top bunk 😅). But it’s starting to slow down by now, no one seem to have gotten seasick either just making some people more tired than usual. But it’s still pretty fun though, I love it when it’s wavey, it kinda give a little bit of action to the crossing rather than just a smooth trip all the way through. ☺️☺️
