Swells were over 6 metres last night, which would explain me constantly sliding to end of bed. Anything on bedside table ended up on the floor. Was really hungry throughout night, lucky I had a large Pringles, nailed the lot by morning. Safe to say not seasick and did not have anything to prevent it either.
Walking around the ship is hilarious, literally falling from one side of passageways to other side. There is quite a number of sick people, some have yet to leave their cabins and it is 1300. Lunch was an interesting experience. Sick bags are hanging on rails everywhere around the corridors of ship and they are going like hot cakes!!
Swells are still really quite big, and this ship is rolling around a lot, do feel for those that are unwell as it does not stop.
Speaking to a few of the crew this morning and they started out on Norwegian fishing boats or come from Russian icebreaker ships. Some hairy stories from them, made this trip seem like we cruising on a calm lake.
They have a few different lectures throughout the day, other than that not a lot to do. Don't think I can go ice camping or kayaking as turns out it all needed to be pre-booked, and is an expensive added cost.
Oh my god!! I could never live a life at sea....boat still rolling around, absolutely freezing outside ( but I continually go outside anyway, then come back in and lie under my doona until warm again), they put on David Attenborough - The Frozen Planet, that took up an hour of my day. So very restricting being on a ship. But it will be worth it once we arrive Antarctica!!!
