Since our harrowing tender episode, the weather has been brewing up plenty of seasickness on board. Luckily, the the rocking and rolling only deprived us of sleep. We were able to enjoy a full day on the ship, including a luxurious treat at the spa, without yet having to resort to our prescribed patches. The sea is calming down on our second day at sea.
There are 416 people onboard, representing 46 nations. It's a friendly group with adventurous and thrill-seeking personality traits being common threads. The expedition crew consists of 18 professionals specializing in studies ranging from marine biology to geology to oceanography to videography. All convey majestic wonder and respect for the astounding wilderness we are going to encounter in South Georgia Island and Antarctica. Saturday's lectures included discussions on the plethora of birds in the region and the many different mammals we will see.
Christmas Eve will bring our first landing in South Georgia Island. We are beyond excited and grateful to experience this opportunity in nature.
