Ship Trip II

The next day saw us somewhere in the Southern Ocean, as the pics indicate the seas had not abated so moving around the ship was a delicate task, ensuring you were close to a handrail or wall at all times, temperature was beginning to drop we were now sitting at around 3-4deg outside, although the ship was quite comfortable in that department.

Access to the bridge was allowed most of the time which made for some views and photo opportunities. Photo above I attempted to keep the horizon as parallel as possible to give an indication of how far the ship was lurching, no wonder we were struggling to walk around.

The temperature had dropped and it had begun to snow on and off, the seas were still reasonably rough and we were heading due South to avoid a low pressure system which was of to the West. The Captain and Voyage leader figured that it was better to avoid any real big seas as about 80% of the ship was feeling pretty ordinary, I was continuing to hit the pills the side effects unfortunately are you feel rather fatigued, other wise it was lying vertical as much as possible, and the occasional spew.







Ice was beginning to form on the windows from the sea spray, which was an indication of how cold it was actually getting outside.
