The Southern Ocean

Folks aboard the Quest Friday morning were groggy after a rough night at sea. The captain had advised us of a potentially rough passage through the Scotia Sea, which is known for stormy and generally harsh conditions. He also warned the women not to wear high heels with their evening attire. A charming sense of humor.

Seabourn features plenty of activities for the cruising days at sea. I found the photography seminar and talk about killer whales very informative. There was a cooking demonstration that was just so-so. It was a good day to do some laundry, too, although everyone seemed to have the same idea.

The days are getting very long in the Southern Ocean; sunrise 2:52am, sunset 10:23pm. Luckily, we are equipped with room darkening window treatments.
