• Day at sea - Eastern Drake Passage

    March 9, 2020, South Atlantic Ocean ⋅ ☁️ 1 °C

    The day at sea means a day of relaxing, TV watching and eating!
    I woke up at 5.30am to a grey day but v calm sea conditions so I opened the verandah door for a while until the swells got a bit too large.
    Breakfast was at 8am and we shared it with Sue and Glen from San Fran who are just lovely. Glen and K had some common cancer chats whilst Sue and I discussed how lucky we were to be carers!! Glen won the unlucky cancer competition with an additional subdural haemorrhage and an electrocution!!!
    Back to the cabin we watched a movie and a presentation re penguins before lunch at 12.30pm. By now the sea was getting pretty rough so there was a lot of staggering in and about the dining room.
    This afternoon was back to the cabin for some reading and more TV before a film on Shackleton and then dinner at 7.30pm.
    Tmrw it will be much of the same before we get to the Antarctic Peninsula.
