Waiting the Passage Out

We spent the whole day crossing the Drake Passage. I spent the day reading a John Grisham novel. You know you have nothing to do when you can read a 400 page novel in 1 day. The seas are around 15 foot swells which is very good for the Drake Crossing. The weather outside was cold, foggy, and rainy so I did not spend much time outside today. Everyone just kind of sat around working, playing cards or watching a couple of movies. The rocking of the ship is hard on some people, they have spent the whole day in their bunks. I kind of enjoy the feeling, it is like getting rocked to sleep.

We will be in Antarctica tomorrow!
