Sorry that I haven't written lately. We finished the science mission on Sept. 5, and have been making our way to the end of the ice. We entered the open ocean on Thurs. night with heavy seas (and 45+ knot winds). Friday morning, I woke up, ate breakfast, went back to my cabin, and my stomach immediately began heaving in tune with the boat. After losing that breakfast, I laid down for most of the day (after having put on a scopolamine patch). By Friday night, I felt well enough to get up, eat some dinner, and lay down in the lounge to watch "A Perfect Storm." Today, the scopolamine seems to have taken full effect and I am feeling fine. We should arrive in Chile in 9 days. Our trip to S. Georgia might be cut short, we'll have to see if we can make up some time in the open water as we cross the ACC.
