Rockin' and a Reelin'

Oh What a Night! The ship was rockin' and reelin' as we hit some rough waves. Clocks were falling off walls, cabinets were flinging open with the contents flying out and sleeping was quite challenging. Depending upon which way your bed was positioned, you were at risk of rolling out or on a wild see-saw ride with your head rising and falling. Many crew members were seasick. These verses accurately describe the events of our journey:

They saw the works of the Lord,
His wonderful deeds in the deep.
For He spoke and stirred up a tempest that lifted high the waves.
They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depths;
in their peril their courage melted away.
They reeled and staggered like drunken men;
They were at their wits' end.
Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
and He brought them out of their distress.
He stilled the storm to a whisper;
the waves of the sea were hushed.
They were glad when it grew calm,
and He guided them to their desired haven.

Psalm 107:24-30
