April 8: Southern Ocean

Making good progress south in a rolling beam swell. Although it does not looklike  it from this photo, the roll is making working on the computer on the upper decks a little tiresome.  Many of the team have retreated to their bunks with some sea sick pills.
I have never been sea sick in my entire life, but I reckon an icebreaker in a big sea might just break me. Travelling well so far though.  Note the cute Orca wind vein on the mast on the foredeck.  You can also see the barge on deck  that is travelling  down with us to help unload some heavy equipment.
