Leaving the Continent

I haven’t posted lately because the Drake Passage has made me a bit seasick. I’m wearing a patch, so it’s mild, but haven’t felt much like doing anything but lying in bed trying not to be sick. The seas are slightly calmer this morning, so I’ll just finish telling you what we did the afternoon of the 20th.

Headed to Dallmann Bay this afternoon where we saw many humpback whaled like this mother and calf. Some were using the bubble feeding method rarely seen in the Antarctic.


Then through Gerlache Strait and into the open waters of the Drake Passage.


Won't be seeing much of anything except sea birds for the next two days.
