We woke to strong winds and seas of 5-7 meters, we both feel fine but many are not feeling so well. We were at sea on our way to the peninsula today. We had several talks on:
1. Mapping Antarctica
2. The Swedish Antarctica Expedition of Otto Nordenskjold and Carl Anton Larson which was a great story told by Adam
3. Edward Wilson who was a doctor and a naturalist on Scott’s missions and died with Scott on his return trip from the pole
By the afternoon the waves had moderated. There is something about the rocking motion of the ship which makes many of us, including Rick and me, tired. So we took a nap in the afternoon.
In the evening we had a DVD player installed in our cabin and watched Oceans Thirteen.
