Deception Island. Then heading north. Feb 14

Scenic cruising to caldera.  Beautiful. Then Drake Passage. Valentines Day with candy hearts. 5 meter waves are a lot. Staggering around the ship. Tom really bothered by swells. 

·        Should be our last day in Antarctica but yesterday was…  We get up early and go to Observation bar but discover that everyone is already there.  The drive by takes from 830-10am and into the Caldera.  We see a research station and also a working vessel of some sort. On the way back out of the caldera someone points out a shipwreck.

·        Waves start to get bumpy almost immediately and get worse as the day goes on.

·        Barf bags conspicuously placed throughout, as they were during trip down.

·        After the presentation in pm we do our usual dash for dinner and Jim/Sari are right behind us and propose dinner together. Turns out that they are keeping kosher and have had the galley staff jump through many hoops.  Continue to see Roland who nods/etc.

·        Ship does acknowledge Valentine’s Day with marzipan roses and a large cake.  Not sure when it is cut and distributed…  It's set to serve but we leave before anything happens.

·        We hang out in Seabourn Square and read/movie for a while which probably hurts me.

·        A little queasy by the end of dinner and afterwards.  Back in room I’m not sure about going to sleep and quite fearful about the fact that there are 24 more hours of this ahead.

·        Try laying in bed with light on and sleep a bit.  Wake up at 12 and feel better about the concept. Ambien and more sleep
