The captain had altered the ships course to take us to bouvet island!!! top bloke! We came fairly close at about 07:30 yesterday but weather and visibility was very poor, so just caught a glimpse of the outline.
The seas have been pretty relentless (think Deadliest Catch!) with some very big swells!!!extremely rough yesterday...a few grey faces around that keep disappearing, Rich not eaten for a couple of days, managed to keep an apple down for about half an hour...
I started nodding off watching a film yesterday afternoon, went for a lie down and woke up at 01:45am this morning then realised we'd crossed another timeline so back an hour she goes...;)
So by 01:00 i had been down for a cup of tea.... yes a cup of tea!! cant seem to stomach coffee... I now have total respect for anyone suffering morning sickness :) Been out on deck for a while to get a few photos, getting colder by the day. Some nice sized bergs appearing all around us this morning.
We have a sweepstake on board for the date and time of arrival at Halley, only 2 entries so far, 24 and 26 dec, and that is from 2 people who have been on the Shack a few times before... I can't decide what to put as although we have travelled over half way already we will slow down now we are hitting the ice. Should be interesting...
The sunrise with the icebergs is something else... and the wildlife is getting better and better! I missed the penguins this morning but managed to get the first picture of a seal!
We have cabin inspections today so better get tidied up i suppose, dont fancy the wrath of the boss!!
