We finished the Drake Passage with our stomachs intact and got our first sights of the White Continent! The winds are down, and the stoke is high.
There is no land at this latitude, so the wind blows uninterrupted around the world. Huge waves and storms can ensue, or it can be entirely calm. Crossing can either be “the drake shake” or a “drake lake.” We got a bit of both.
We only have two days before our formal tour starts, so we are trying to make the most of every minute in this beautiful city.
