Crossing the Indian Ocean on a roller coaster

We are now crossing the Indian Ocean and the sea gods, Neptune and Poseidon.  have been playing up - they must have decided that we would like a roller coaster ride for a few days - the last two days have been quite bumpy with seas of up to 8.5 metres last night - tragically our wine glasses fell off the shelf in our cabin and broke, so we were cleaning up bits of glass in the middle of the night.

Neither of us have succumbed to the dreaded sea sickness although we both have a bit of a cough ( not so much fun with a broken rib).
The 'motion discomfort device's (sick bags) have been put out in all the stairwells and many seem to be remaining in their cabins. It is forecast to ease later today as we enter the Gulf of Aden, headed for the Red Sea.

We are being kept very busy on the sea days - reading, watching movies (Lincoln is the movie of the day), playing cards, trivia etc. - all the outside decks have been roped off for safety reasons and the pools have emptied themselves.
