Drake Passage. Feb 15

Rocking and rolling all day. Tom basically slept all day. His way to cope with seasickness. Team trivia still in the lead but losing 3 members of entertainment staff. Dinner in room. Steve Stevens (from my trivia team) show in evening. Later in evening swells reduced as we entered more sheltered waters of Beagle Channel.

·        Sucks.  Queasy all day. Get up and go back to sleep numerous times during the day. A completely shot day.  I later calculate that I spent 4 man-days worth of time immobile, definition being can’t read or watch movies on tablet and need to look at horizon every so often.

·        Room service is still a cluster fuck.  Can only order from The Restaurant or the room service menus.  4-5 minor screw ups in the actual delivery

·        We can’t get served at Observation Bar while all around us people are served…  This is before dinner.  After 15 minutes waiting and seeing ⅔ couples around us get served I go to bar and say that I’ll wait while I am served.  End up taking the cocktail to restaurant. ***Mixed up.  took drink to dinner with Steve, not his show***

·        Starting to feel human again even though I can see swells outside at I type this at 845pm.  Going to see one of MJP’s trivia team people, Steve from England, perform at 945.

·        Song and jokes show. One excellent line -- met some interesting people on this cruise. Even one who only has 1 house… and a job.

·        Going to spend 1 ½ days in Ushuaia which had originally only merited 7am-1pm…
