Our first talk today was on the early exploration of the southern oceans prior to Antarctica even being sighted. Our second talk will be on "The Penguins of Antarctica".
We hope to reach the Antarctic Peninsula tomorrow after breakfast.

March 11, 2016 -Fighting the Drake Passage
Not much to report on today. We are still crossing the Drake Passage in very rough seas. Last night it got so bad that the Captain decided to change course. So far I have avoided any seasickness but due to all of the swaying and bouncing around I have gotten very little sleep. The Captain said that we are swaying 15 degrees or so to starboard and then the same to the port side. This gives me a whole new appreciation of what the early sea explorers were up against with their much smaller ships and being under sail instead of being under power.
Our location this morning about 9AM
