This afternoon they made an announcement that we should stay off our balconies, but I had already come to the same conclusion after taking these pictures of the waves earlier. The ship is rocking and creaking (and occasionally banging, which is a little unnerving.) Sometimes the spray is so heavy I can't see the actual water and I have no desire to leave my cabin for the rest of the day.
Unlike the last time I went to Antarctica, we have internet, and a library of movies and TV shows for distraction. The video occasionally freezes but considering that we are about as far from civilization as you can get on this planet, that's understandable. I've never been seasick but I'm taking dramamine anyway, just in case, and watching old movies instead of looking through photos. I was already in awe of Shackleton but the fact that he navigated these waters in a 22-foot boat is just mind-boggling. I'm barely comfortable doing it in this huge ship.
