A ferry crossing in the tail end of hurricane Gonzalo

I chose yesterday (Oct 21st) to spend my day, with the boys, in the middle of The English Channel, on a ferry. 

Flipping 'eck - when the waves are crashing up over the windows of deck SEVEN of your ferry you know it is a bit rough. Actually that is the roughest crossing I have ever done... or ever want to do again. I hid in the cabin, Ben laid down on a sofa on deck and fell asleep and Tom played on the computer oblivious to sea sick people all around him!  You can begin to stop liking people who don't get sea sick!! 

Trust us to travel in the tail end of hurricane Gonzalo!
