Tampa to Roatan

So a few days on a cargo boat and no worse for wear. the first few days were nice and calm a lot of reading and staring out at the water, I got to see tons of flying fish and a pod of dolphins, they heard the boat, swam over and were playing in the wake off the bow. Supposedly a pilot whale was seen too but not with these eyes. The last 24 hours or so was pretty nuts the weather got bad right before I went to sleep. The boat was being tossed around so much that any actual sleep turned out to be impossible, it was more like laying there with your eyes closed for 8 hours. Waves would lift the boat so high and then drop it so fast that you felt like you were in free fall. The sound of things rumbling around underneath the cabin together with the knowledge that Hurricane Felix wasn't all that far away made me question our safety a bit, which made that 8 hours with my eyes closed feel a bit longer. But I got off the boat yesterday in Roatan and met up with my brother. I ended up spending some time in Tampa wating for the boat to leave which turned what was supposed to be an intersting way to travel while saving some cash into a more expensive trip but I look at it like I was paying for the experience. So I gotta say that overall it was worthit
