Someone has angered the Weather gods!  Heads bowed in retching prayer into those most sacred of objects, the vomit bag. 

Day 5, Sat 8 Nov:  At sea, sailing for the South Atlantic for South Georgia. 
Talks today; glacier and ice sheet formation; "Seals and Seal Research", "Shackleton", and "Albatross".  Started watching episodes of "Dexter".
 
Day 6, Sun 9 Nov: Still at sea, Southern Ocean, Antarctic Convergence.
Had South Georgia briefing-very strict landing guidelines to preserve near pristine environment.  Vacuum party where all our clothes and gear is sucked clean. Talk; "History of Whaling"-yuk, distressing, don't need to know.  Episode of  "Dexter" instead. Also talk on seabirds.
