Thursday 1 March 2012 - Scotia Sea

A sleepless night because I kept sliding up and down on my bunk and an annoying phone call from the bank in the middle of the night did not helped.  I was awake at 06:45 and read "Caravan" by James Mitchener for an hour before getting up and going to breakfast.  Today was a quiet day at sea with numerous lectures on the wildlife of the Antarctic, exploration and geological overview.  I'm starting to put on weight from all the good food and many choices which I feel obliged to sample.  A very relaxing day watching the waves and reading.
