Coming back from a weekend in Galveston we were only 3 or 4 miles from home port. Entering Galveston Bay we saw this storm approaching. Sailing with just the jib we hoped we could out run it but decided it was better to be out in the open water when it hits so we just rolled in the jib and when it hit turned away from it. No waves to speak of so decided to keep the rain out of our faces. We put the dog down below and waited for it to hit. It hit with 36 knot winds but they died down to the high 20s. The squall only lasted 10 minutes or so and when it passed we headed home. It was our first experience of a storm although not at sea as such so this was a baby storm. The first of many to come in our sailing lives I'm sure.

Let us show you some of the highlights from our deluxe balcony cabin on the stunning MSC Virtuosa! We stayed in this cabin for 5 nights with our 2 young children and found it to have plenty of space for a young family of 4. We loved the kingsize bed and bathroom, and the balcony was a great place to relax (although 4 adults would struggle to fit on it at the same time). We will be sharing our full, detailed cabin tour on our channel so please subscribe to catch it, and in the meantime check out our current videos for more great cruise and travel content.
