Shooting Cats (not real cats)...reviewing lunch?

Shooting Cats:
This is an Afrikaans saying that means you are getting rid of food, throwing up, vommitting, calling george.
So why would someone write a blog about this?
We are currently sailing to Geelong Australia. This voyage has been gut wrenching. The ship is jumping from wave to wave and our stomaches and meals are following... At the moment I am living on seasick tablets and water as my stomache does not want to keep anything down. I spent the majority of yesterday feeling sick and 'shooting cats'. This is not such a great adventure as many people think. To be honest and fair...not all voyages are like this. Sometimes it feels like the ship is barely moving and the sun shines and there is a holiday feel about the ship. This voyage is not on of those. There is currently a 'sick' feel about the ship...functioning at 40%.
Please pray that we will survive this voyage and not get to Geelong more tired and sick.
Please pray for the mothers that are still breastfeeding...
Enough about the sickness...i need to go...
