Yesterday I joined the boat in Ushuaia and set off down the Beagle channel. Fantastic scenery along the channel and as we left the channel we had a wonderful snowstorm. Had a safety briefing and were warned it would be rough. Apparently heading into a force 9 storm. The doctor happily dishing out sea sickness pills. I declined. Could have been a big mistake but this morning was a lovely sunny morning in the south Atlantic and despite the swell I felt OK. Some not so lucky although most people are starting to get their sea legs. It was wonderful standing on the back of the ship looking at the Albatross`s and Pectorals following us. A glorious feelings being so far from the hustle of the modern world. A tanny announced the results of the US presidential race and it didn’t seem to matter less.
