Day 10 – The Day I Did Nothing

This morning I woke up, and the ship was moving!

I thought I would be fine, but by the time I stepped out of the shower – definitely not fine. So I put on a robe and got right back in bed.

I slept off and on until 2. I got up again, determined to finish getting ready.

Mukta brought me a chocolate muffin, so I ate half.

Then got back in bed. Ha!

Woke up at 7 to watch the briefing on our TV. Then back to sleep!

At 9:30 pm I really wanted to go to the crew talent show, but that was not happening.

Eventually, I fell asleep again (swells were up to 10 meters at that point!), and then I slept all night!

I did Nothing all day! I was in bed for almost 36 hours!!  Sleeping most of it!  Insanity.

I thought I would take a cool video of the seas moving, but that didn’t happen.  I didn’t take a single picture of anything!  

So we got the Drake Shake, after all.

There’s a saying in Antarctica that you have to earn Antarctica. Today – we did!
