| Sunset, day 2 |
Surprisingly the Southern Ocean was rather calm for the 3 day trip, there was a bit of rolling and not all that much rocking, but plenty of eating and a movie or two. Actually, there's not a huge amount to do on the ship - although some work does get done. Observations are done around the clock, every 3 hours, and someone has to be awake at 2am and 5am.
We had a few albatross following the ship and they are magnificent birds. Gracefully gliding above the water, one or two flaps of their wings here and there, generally taking life very easily.
On the other hand, sometimes birds are blown completely off course and shouldn't be in the middle of the ocean.
