After our little sojourn out to the Tasman Sea from Milford Sound, the ferry beat a hasty retreat back to protected waters. We’d been surprised at how quickly the waves had picked up on our outbound journey. Little did we realize that we were getting a tiny taste of what many sailors regard as one of the roughest seas in the world. About a week after I took this photo, we were on the MS Noordam being tossed about by the Tasman Sea. It just goes to show that even something the size of a cruise ship is no match for Mother Nature!
